There will be two public comment periods at each regular board meeting. The first public comment period will be limited to comments on agenda items only, and will conclude at the end of 30 minutes. The second public comment period will be open to comment on non-agenda items, and will conclude at the end of 15 minutes.
There will be a public comment sign-up sheet at each board meeting. Persons wishing to address the board should sign in with their name, town of residence, and topic they are commenting on prior to the start of the meeting.
The public comment portion of the meeting will not be livestreamed.
Speakers will be called to present their comments in the order in which they have signed up.
Comments are limited to three minutes to ensure that many individuals have the opportunity to be heard. A timer will sound when three minutes have elapsed.
The Board president reserves the right to limit remarks from the public which are repetitive or known to be defamatory.
Public comments may not identify any person by name or position.
Public comments are not meant to be a dialogue, but rather a time for the board to hear comments from the public. The board or the Superintendent may, at their discretion, offer comments or ask clarifying questions related to topics or issues raised by members of the public.
