Individuals wishing to speak during public comment must complete the Public Comment Form and submit it to the Board Secretary prior to the start of the meeting.

Board Policy 2:230. At each regular and special open meeting, members of the public and District employees may comment to or ask questions of the School Board, subject to reasonable constraints. The individuals appearing before the Board are expected to follow these guidelines:

1. Address the Board only at the appropriate time as indicated on the agenda and when recognized by the Board President.
2. Identify oneself and be brief. Ordinarily, comments shall be limited to 5 minutes. In unusual circumstances, and when an individual has made a request in advance to speak for a longer period of time, the individual may be allowed to speak for more than 5 minutes.
3. Observe the Board President's decision to shorten public comment to conserve time and give the maximum number of individuals an opportunity to speak.
4. Observe the Board President's decision to determine procedural matters regarding public participation not otherwise covered in Board policy.
5. Conduct oneself with respect and civility toward others and otherwise abide by Board Policy, 8:30, Visitors to and Conduct on School Property.

Members of the public may speak during this portion of the meeting. Comments are limited to five minutes. Board members will not respond to public comments or questions during "Public Comments". Should total Public Comments approach or exceed a cumulative time of 30 minutes, the Board may suspend additional Public Comments until immediately prior to the Board and Superintendent Comments portion of the agenda.

Board Policy 2:220 The President shall designate a portion of the agenda as a consent agenda for those items that usually do not require extensive discussion before Board action. Upon the request of any Board member, an item will be withdrawn from the consent agenda and placed on the regular agenda for independent consideration. 

There will be no separate discussion of these items unless a Board Member so requests, in which event the item will be removed from the Consent Agenda and considered as the first item after approval of the Consent Agenda.

The Board is provided a monthly report detailing out-of-school suspensions. Due to the student record data contained in this report, this report remains confidential. 

The Board President will administer the oath in an open Board meeting; in the absence of the President, the Vice President will administer the oath. If neither is available, the Board member with the longest service on the Board will administer the oath.

The Board is asked to delegate the leading of the meeting to the superintendent who will oversee the election of the Board President. Once the President is elected, the President will resume chairng the meting.

The process for electing board officers will be as follows:

• Nominations from the Floor. Any board member may nominate another board member for an officer position. Self-nominations are allowed. A nomination does not require a second.  A board member may nominate more than one person for the same office. 
• Discussion. After nominations close, the chair will open the floor for discussion regarding the nominees on the ballot.
• Voting. Following discussion, the chair will call for a vote. Each board member may vote once per voting round. To be elected, a nominee must receive a majority of the votes of board members present. If no majority, re-ballot: the chair announces that no one received a majority and instructs that another vote be taken. All nominees remain on the ballot, unless one voluntarily withdraws. Repeat until a candidate receives a majority.
• If necessary: after three rounds of re-balloting, a motion can be made (by majority vote) to limit the number of candidates on the ballot by dropping the lowest vote-getter.
• Impasse. If a majority decision cannot be reached after repeated voting, the chair may reopen nominations and restart the election process for the office in question.

President, Vice-President, and Secretary must each be voted on. However, if there is no contest for all three positions, the board can elect all three positions in a single vote.
