Public Comment Procedure at Board Meetings
The Alma Board of Education recognizes the importance of members of the public having an opportunity to address the board. In order to provide an orderly method for this to occur, the following procedures will apply:
Each person desiring to address the board will sign the list provided for this purpose prior to the beginning of the meeting, indicating the topic that they wish to address.
Each person will be limited to a maximum of three minutes, with no more than fifteen minutes devoted to all persons, unless extended by vote of the Board.
Due to federal and state privacy act considerations, persons addressing the Board may not discuss staff members or students by name. Also, specific personnel situations cannot be discussed with the Board.
The Board will take all comments under advisement. Any action of the Board resulting from any comments will occur at a future meeting, if the issue has been properly placed on the agenda for consideration.
