Attending a Board Meeting

Addressing the Board

The Board of Trustees encourages families with students in the District to work first with your teachers and campus administration to answer questions or address concerns.  If you believe that your issue needs additional attention, please contact the appropriate District office.  We highly encourage our families, residents, and vendors to work with campuses and District administration.  If a District resident, employee, or vendor wishes to formally communicate with the Board for a purpose other than appeal of a complaint [see Board Policies DGBA, FNG, or GF], the individual may:

1. Send an email to individual board members. 

2. Sign up to make comments at a regular Board meeting regarding either agenda or non-agenda topics as described below. Audience participation at a Board meeting is limited to the public comment portion of the meeting designated for that purpose. At all other times during a Board meeting, the audience shall not enter into discussion or debate on matters being considered by the Board, unless requested by the presiding officer.
