District Restricts Public Comment with Pre-Registration Requirement
The board’s public comment procedure requires individuals to pre-register using an online form by 3:30 PM on the day of the meeting. This policy limits spontaneous public participation and can serve as a barrier to parents and taxpayers wishing to address the board.
Policy Use
DOCUMENT: The public comment policy under item 4 requires pre-registration hours before the meeting, limiting public accountability. Document this as an example of a governance restriction for the state policy team’s brief on school board transparency.
