Board reiterates public-comment rules and notes FOIA requests completed
Summary
Before public comment, the board read rules limiting speaking time and topics and announced several FOIA requests had been completed; the second public-comment period followed.
Before the evening's public-comment period, the board clerk and president read the district's public-comment policy and logistics: the meeting included two public-comment periods (the first limited to agenda items), speakers must state their name, have a maximum of three minutes, and cannot yield their time. The board also announced several completed FOIA requests.
"This opportunity for public comment will be limited to 60 minutes... Members of the public will be granted a maximum of 3 minutes each to provide comment on school district matters," the board said. The board clerk listed completed FOIA requests for named requesters.
What happens next: The board proceeded to hear a lengthy second public-comment period with parents and residents addressing safety, transparency, staffing and class-size matters.
