The public may share comments related to agenda items at the beginning of the board meeting during Recognition of Citizens. Comments not related to items on the agenda at hand may be shared at the end of the board meeting under the Comments or Questions from Board Members or Citizens. Each citizen is given two to three minutes for their comments.
The Board President will indicate the time for comments by stating the following:
RECOGNITION OF CITIZENS:
This Board welcomes and invites public comment. However, the board requires a level of respect and decorum during board meetings and proceedings as well as a process for accessing specific information, followed by all school districts in Pennsylvania. Board policy 903 states the following:
All statements shall be directed to the presiding officer; no participant may address or question Board members or members of the public individually.
The presiding officer may:
1. Interrupt or terminate a participant's statement when the statement is too lengthy, personally directed, abusive, obscene, or irrelevant.
2. Request any individual to leave the meeting when that person does not observe reasonable decorum.
3. Request the assistance of law enforcement officers to remove a disorderly person when his/her conduct interferes with the orderly progress of the meeting.
Moving forward, the board will no longer allow comments that violate this policy, and will exercise its rights to remove individuals from both virtual and face to face meetings.
You may provide comments at this point or at the end of the agenda under Comments from Public.
If you choose to make a comment based on items on the agenda, please wait to be recognized, come to the podium, state your name and identify the agenda item you will be commenting on. Kindly limit your remarks to two to three minutes. The board may or may not elect to respond. Please refrain from making remarks during the course of the meeting.
