Public Comment Rules and Enforcement
📅 October 5, 2026
The agenda references Policy #903, which grants the presiding officer authority to warn or stop a public commenter for violating the policy. Without the text of Policy #903, the grounds for stopping a speaker are unknown and could constitute a viewpoint-discriminatory restriction on speech in a limited public forum.
Intake Action

PULL THE DOCUMENT: Retrieve Policy #903, referenced in item 1.A, from the district’s website or via a records request to determine the specific grounds upon which a public commenter may be stopped. The language of the policy will determine if it is a permissible content-neutral regulation or an unconstitutional viewpoint-based restriction.
