MEETING RULES AND DETAILS
- A maximum of 3 minutes is allotted. You will be called upon when it is your turn to speak. Members of the public who are in person are expected to remain in the designated area for speaking with the Board. Failure to remain in the designated area may result in the member of the public forfeiting their time to speak with the Board.
- This session allows community members to discuss their views on issues, but doesn’t obligate Board members to respond within the 3-minute time slot allotted to individual public comment. Administrative staff may be identified and asked to provide follow-up on specific questions after the meeting. The responses from individual Board members do not necessarily reflect the official position of the Colonial School District Board of Education. The opinions and views shared tonight are those of each member. If a member of the public has documents to share with the Board they should indicate as such and a member of the executive leadership team will collect the documents and disseminate them to the Board.
- Laws protecting the privacy rights of employees and students prohibit Board members from engaging in a discussion of any employee’s performance or qualifications or confidential matters relating to a student. If a Board member violates such statutory rights to privacy, such Board member may be exposed to individual liability. Concerns regarding individuals will not be discussed in the open forum. If you have a personal issue regarding your child(ren), we will help you set up an appointment with the appropriate person to address your needs.
