CLCS Board Public Comment Policy

The CLCS Board of Directors (hereafter referred to as Board) welcomes your participation at the Board meetings. The purpose of a public meeting of the Board is to conduct the affairs of the CLCS organization in public. We are pleased that you are in attendance, and hope that you will visit these meetings often. Your participation assures us of continuing community interest in our Schools. To foster clarity and ease in speaking/participating, the following guidelines are provided:

1.	Copies of the agenda are available at the door to the meeting for all in attendance to reference. 

2.	“Request to Speak” forms are available to all who wish to speak on any agenda item(s) or under the general category of “Presentations on Agenda Items” and “Public Comments on Closed Session Topics”. Any person may address the Board on agenda or non-agenda items, as indicated in the agenda. To be recognized by the Board President, an individual must write their name and the agenda item(s) on the cards provided and submit this to the Board President or Secretary. The Board President or Secretary will then announce the person’s name at the appropriate time during the meeting. Each person will be granted up to three minutes to make his or her presentation. If requested, the Board President may grant additional time to individuals, circumstances permitting. 

3.	“Presentations from the Floor” is a portion of the meeting set aside for members of the audience to raise issues that are not specifically on the agenda. These presentations are limited to three minutes each and total time allotted to non-agenda items will not exceed fifteen (15) minutes. Due to public meeting laws, the Board can only listen to your issue/concern/comment, and cannot respond or take action. The Board may, however, give direction to staff to respond to your concern. 
4.	With regard to the items that are on the agenda, you may specify that agenda item on your request form and you will be given an opportunity to speak for up to three minutes. Following a presentation on an agenda item by staff, committees, or the public to the Board, the President will recognize members of the public who have submitted a “Request to Speak” on that agenda item. This period precedes Board discussion and deliberation. 
5.	Formal presentations to the Board by members of the public may be scheduled in advance by notifying the President and/or Executive Director (ED) in writing two weeks prior to the next regularly scheduled Board meeting. The President and/or ED shall determine whether the community member request is or is not an item directly related to school business prior to it being placed on the agenda. No community-requested item shall be placed on the agenda if it is repetitive of a previous item that had been placed on the agenda and considered by the Board. Scheduled formal presentations shall not exceed 15 minutes in duration. 

In addition to the above, any Board member may ask a member of the public to answer brief questions or make comments on an agenda item under discussion in order to gather information before deliberating on a decision. Furthermore, in order to permit adequate time for public comment prior to any decisions being made, whenever
