Bullard ISD agenda spells limits on public comments, forbids naming students or staff
Summary
The Bullard ISD special meeting agenda sets a five-minute limit for public comments, requires sign-up, and prohibits personally identifiable information about employees or students; the agenda warns that commenting time will end immediately if those rules are violated.
The Bullard Independent School District's special meeting agenda on Feb. 12, 2026, includes explicit open-forum rules for public commenters. The agenda states that the board "shall allot 5 minutes for each person who desires to make comments to the Board" and requires speakers to sign up on arrival and note the topic they will address.
The agenda also instructs commenters not to provide personally identifiable information about Bullard ISD employees or students and says that if a specific reference is made to an employee or student, the speaker's time will expire immediately and they will be required to leave the boardroom. The agenda clarifies that the board may provide factual information in response to inquiries but will not deliberate or decide on matters not on the posted agenda during the open forum.
