Board re-states public comment rules at workshop
Summary
At the Nov. 5, 2025 Dundee Community Schools workshop, the presiding officer read the public comment policy, emphasizing the five-minute limit, requirement to state name, and that the board will not respond during the public comment period.
At the start of the meeting the presiding officer read the district's public comment instructions: "The purpose of public comment is to provide an opportunity for a member of the public to speak." The board record notes that members of the public must state their name, a five-minute time limit applies, and that questions will be referred to the Superintendent for research and response if a speaker requests follow-up.
The public comment guidelines in the transcript also say that materials may not be distributed at the meeting without prior approval and that speakers who want a response must include contact information on the Public Comment Sign-In Sheet. The reading frames public comment as an opportunity to speak rather than a time for immediate board response.
