VI. Public Participation – 7:10 p.m.
By Board policy, a period for public participation is scheduled during each regular meeting. At the
discretion of the presiding officer, any non-confidential educational items may be questioned,
commented upon, requested, and presented with the following stipulations: Complaints are to be
resolved in accordance with Board policy and regulations, “Public Complaints” (KE and KE-R-1),
“Parent Complaints” (KEAA and KEAA-R), “Student Complaints” (JII and JII-R), or “Staff
Complaints” (GBK and GBK-R).
The public participation portion of the Board meeting is not intended to circumvent the organizational
avenues of communications and/or complaints as stipulated in Board policies and regulations. These
emphasize discussing and trying to resolve matters closest to the source, and then, if necessary,
discussing and trying to resolve them at progressively higher levels within the organization, ending
with the Board of Education.
The public participation portion of the Board meeting is not intended for items requiring immediate
Board action nor should parents, other citizens, students, or staff expect the Board to take action at this
time.
When parents, other citizens, students, or staff wish to address the Board, they should first complete a
form available to them when they enter the Board Room. After completion of the form, they are to
present it to the presiding officer prior to the start of the Board meeting. Parents, other citizens,
students, or staff wishing to address the Board shall first be recognized by the presiding officer. They
shall then state name, address, and subject matter, and then proceed to make comments as briefly as
possible. The presiding officer may limit the time of each speaker.
The distribution of any written or printed materials and the like shall be confined to the Board
members and the Superintendent.
Those addressing the Board are to direct their questions or comments to the Board members or to the
Superintendent. Questions asked shall be answered at the Board meeting, when possible. When not
possible, the questions shall be referred to the Superintendent for investigation. The Superintendent
shall share with the Board the information collected as a result of the investigation, and the Board
shall decide how to respond. Normally, such a response will be in writing.
