District Public Comment Policy Requires Pre-Registration
The board’s standing public comment policy, BED, requires citizens to sign up and submit any materials at the Superintendent’s office by 5:00 p.m. on the day of the meeting. This procedure can limit public participation by preventing spontaneous comment on issues that arise during the meeting itself.
Policy Use
WATCH: Item 2 outlines a public comment policy requiring pre-registration. Monitor for any changes that further restrict public access or for instances where this policy is used to limit debate.
