Heads up! We have scanned the upcoming agenda for Norris Elementary. We found 3 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7)
Board Can Limit Public Comment on Hot-Button Issues
📅 November 12, 2026
The board reserves the right to cap total public comment time at just 25 minutes for any single agenda item, regardless of how many parents wish to speak. This rule could be used to silence widespread community concern on controversial topics by drastically cutting individual speaking times.
Recommended Action Plan

DEMAND YOUR RIGHT TO BE HEARD: Contact the District Office and demand the Board remove the 25-minute total time cap from its meeting rules. ‘The 25-minute cap on public comment for a single item, as stated in section 2.0 of the agenda, is an unacceptable restriction on parental rights. We demand this policy be revised to ensure every parent who signs up gets their full three minutes to speak.’

💰 Impact: Suppressed Parent Voices
ALERT (LEVEL 4)
Board Can Add Items to Agenda at the Last Minute
📅 November 12, 2026
The agenda allows the board to add new items during the meeting with a 2/3 vote, making them available to the public only at that moment. This practice limits the public’s ability to review and prepare comments on potentially significant issues before they are voted on.
Recommended Action Plan

ASK FOR TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office and ask the Board to amend its rules to require all voting items to be posted with the public agenda 72 hours in advance. ‘Regarding Item 1.2, last-minute agenda additions prevent meaningful public input. Will the Board commit to providing adequate notice for all action items?’

💰 Impact: Reduced Public Notice

District Affirms Parent Right to Protect Child’s Info in Public Records
📅 November 12, 2026
The agenda explicitly informs parents of their right under California law to request their child’s personal information be excluded from the public board meeting minutes. This is a positive affirmation of parental rights over their child’s data privacy.
How to Lock It In

SECURE THIS WIN: Thank the Board for including this clear notification of parental rights in the agenda. ‘We appreciate the district’s transparency in informing parents of their right under Ed Code 49073.2 to protect their children’s private information. Please continue to make this notification prominent in all future agendas.’
