January 2024 USD 379 Board of Education

Addressing the Board

Community input is both welcomed and encouraged at specific times during Board meetings. The following protocol should be used when requesting to speak to the Board.

Prior to the starting of the meeting, patrons wanting to address the Board shall sign the Citizens’ Open Forum Register located on a table, next to the door.

Patrons are requested to list on the register, the topic(s) to be presented, and the appropriate organization(s) or individual(s) represented.

Each speaker may speak no longer than five minutes.

Up to three minutes shall be allowed for Board of Education members to ask questions for clarification of the person making the presentation. The responses to the questions shall be included in the three minutes time limit. The presiding officer may grant additional time at his/her discretion.

The Board of Education president or presiding officer may ask a spokesperson to speak for the group in the event that more than three-person wish to speak and will determine the time allocations for each.

Information may be submitted to the board in written form.

Presentations containing information or comments related to USD 379 personnel may be referred for review in executive session.

The Board president or presiding officer has the option to stop the proceedings at any time or poll the board to determine if a speaker may continue.

The Board of Education recognizes the importance of citizen presentations and desires to make fully informed decisions based upon careful consideration of all sides of the issue(s) presented. The Board of Education, therefore, desires to take under consideration as needed, information gleaned from citizen presentations in an effort to determine the appropriate response.
