HEARING OF INDIVIDUALS AND DELEGATIONS

Please note that Public Speaks is not a time for dialogue with the Board of Education - It is an opportunity for you to share a comment with the Board of Education.  In addition, by law, administrators and Board of Education members are not permitted to publicly discuss personnel matters, student discipline, or other issues requiring confidentiality.  While we may not respond to comments, all input shared with the Board of Education is taken very seriously, and will inform future deliberations and work by the Board of Education and its committees.
