Statement of the Board of Education
Thu, 01/26/2012 - 4:25pmThe Board of Education wishes to apologize to the community for the decision at its January 24 meeting to limit the period of Citizen Comment. The intent of this decision was not to stifle public comment or deny persons the opportunity to speak but to keep the comment period at a reasonable length to allow the Board to conduct its business. Citizen comment has lately occupied a large portion of Board meetings. It has been a difficult task for the Board to balance the desire to hear from the public with its need to conduct school district business.
