school matters of community interest. 
  The Board is also committed to conducting its meetings in a productive and efficient manner 
that assures that the regular agenda of the Board is completed in a reasonable period of time, honors 
the voluntary nature of the Board’s time and using that time efficiently, and allows for a fair and 
adequate opportunity for input to be considered. Consequently, public participation at Board meetings 
will be governed by the following principles:

Superintendent no later than eight (8) days prior to the meeting and include: 
1. name and address of the participant; 
  2. group affiliation, if and when appropriate; 
  3. topic to be addressed. 
Such requests shall be subject to the approval of the Superintendent and the Board President. 
B. In order to permit the fair and orderly expression of such comment, the Board shall provide a period 
for public participation at every regular meeting of the Board and publish rules to govern such 
participation in Board meetings. The presiding officer of each Board meeting at which public 
participation is permitted shall administer the rules of the Board for its conduct. Where his/her ruling is 
disputed, it may be overruled by a majority of those Board members
