5. Public Comments
The next items on the agenda is Public Comment and Public Audience, which is the time for members of the audience to address the Board of trustees through either public comment or public audience, if applicable.Before we begin, I will remind our audience members of the Board’s procedures for handling public comments. The public comment portion of our Regular Board meeting is available to members of the public who wish to address agenda and non-agenda item to be considered by the Board.
Anyone who wants to speak during public comment must sign up prior to the start of the meeting and list the agenda item or non-agenda subject they want to discuss. Each public comment speaker will be allowed a maximum of ___ minutes to address the Board. Any public testimony speaker who is speaking through a translator, will receive up to ___ minutes to address the Board.
The public addressing tonight’s agenda items allows all speakers who have signed up before the start of the meeting to address the Board regarding an item on tonight’s agenda.
Please keep your comments or criticisms civil and courteous. Please also avoid using profanity and refrain from making personal attacks on others during your opportunity to speak. Last, we ask that you not discuss students who are not your own child. Yelling, inappropriate, uncivil or discriminatory comments will not be permitted.
If you are speaking on items that are not on tonight’s agenda, then the following applies to those speakers. If a group of people want to be heard on the same topic, the Board asks that they designate a spokesperson to avoid needless repetition. The Board shall allot no more than 30 minutes for speakers on items not on tonight’s agenda. The Board has adopted rules to preclude the abuse of open forum by, for example, anyone uselessly repeating the same comment or complaint meeting after meeting.
All comments by persons speaking on either agenda or non agenda items will be limited to __ minutes per speaker.
I also caution you that your public comments should not complain about individual school employees by name or position or, other than your own child, identify students, pursuant to Tex. Gov’t Code 551.074, 551.0821 and 551.082 As presiding officer, I am obligated to determine whether a person addressing the Board has attempted to administratively resolve any complaints or grievances about which they want to address the Board that involve District officers or employees. In the event your comment, in the judgment of the presiding officer, constitutes a complaint or charge against an employee or officer, it may be necessary for me to interrupt and ask you to stop and direct you to proceed with the school district’s formal grievance procedures or to have the item heard in Executive Session depending on the nature of the complaint.
If a speaker is seeking Board resolution of a specific complaint, that concern should be addressed through the District’s grievance process which can be found online and include Policies DGBA, FNG and GF. Grievance forms can be obtained at any campus administration office, or in the central administration offices. Thank you |
