PCSSD board adopts revised public‑comment policy to align with Act 902 changes

Little Rock — The Pulaski County Special School District board voted Sept. 25 to adopt a revised public‑comment policy after a prior nonaction discussion Sept. 9 and a public presentation; the board described the policy as consistent with the law changes summarized to the board. Board members were told the policy retains a three‑minute comment limit and a sign‑in process and that the policy is intended to reflect the requirements in Act 902 (as referenced in the board packet). The superintendent directed viewers to the Sept. 9 board meeting video (1:30:57 timestamp) for the original presentation and explained there were no material changes from that presentation beyond technical adjustments to comply with Act 902. Motion and vote: A motion to adopt the public‑comment policy (1.35P) was made by Miss Maynard and seconded by Dr. Tayt; the board approved the policy on a voice vote. What it does and next steps: The policy language in the board packet was presented as final; board members indicated the policy can be revisited later if practical issues arise. Staff noted routine procedures (sign‑up and three‑minute limits) will remain and that the district will implement the policy consistent with state law.
