Description:  The Board encourages comments from citizens of the District or from District employees.  Anyone wishing to speak, either as an individual or as a representative of a group, may do so at this time.  The Board asks that comments pertain to public education and be no longer than five (5) minutes.

Remember that the Board may not discuss or act upon any issues that are not posted on the agenda.  If an issue mentioned is listed on tonight's agenda, the Board will defer discussion of the issue until the appropriate time during the meeting.

In addition, the Board has adopted complaint policies that are designed to secure, at the lowest administrative level, a prompt and equitable resolution of complaints and concerns.  Complaints brought by students or their parents may be heard in accordance with policies FNG (LEGAL) and FNG (LOCAL); by employees, in accordance with policies DGBA (LEGAL) and DGBA (LOCAL); and by citizens, in accordance with policies GF (LEGAL) and GF (LOCAL).  Each of these processes provides that, if a resolution cannot be achieved administratively, the person may appeal the administrative decision to the Board as a properly posted agenda item.

Copies of District policies on public participation in meetings and filing complaints are available at the Danbury ISD Administration Building and can be accessed on the district website at www.danburyisd.org.
