Public questions board’s tabling of policy item; resident cites open‑meeting concerns
Summary
The board voted to table revised policies (agenda item 11‑04); public commenter Anne Marie Longo challenged whether the discussion leading to tabling occurred in public and urged the board to review changes to its public‑comment language.
The board moved and voted to table agenda item 11‑04, a set of revised policies, after Superintendent Dr. Yanni requested additional information. Chair announced the motion carried following a second and an affirmative vote.
Public commenter Anne Marie Longo said the board’s decision to table the policies raised transparency questions. "A board agenda item should be discussed in public based on the laws of open meeting," Longo said, adding that a prior board statement welcoming public input appeared to have been changed. She urged the board to review the change and confirm it complies with open‑meeting law.
