Summary

A resident who raised a proposed backpack ban at a previous meeting said she has not received the emailed response board members promised; the chair and staff agreed to verify contact details and re-forward the response after confirming the resident's correct email or phone number.

A resident who spoke at the board's previous meeting about a proposed backpack ban returned on Sept. 15 seeking a promised email response from board members. The resident said she had not received the follow-up: "I have yet to receive an email about that," she told the board.

The chair asked the resident to verify her email address because the district's earlier reply had been returned as undeliverable, and staff pledged to re-send the response and confirm phone contact information. The exchange was limited to verifying contact details rather than reopening policy debate; the board noted it does not generally engage in a back-and-forth during the public-comment slot but will ensure the promised reply is delivered.
