Board meetings are not "public" meetings but rather meetings held in public. By law, all board discussion and deliberations must be conducted in public except for certain matters - personnel, negotiations, and legal - that must be discussed in closed session. However, all official board action (voting) must occur in public.

There are specific times noted on the agenda when public comments are received. Comments are not restricted to items on the agenda. However, not all comments are appropriate for the open session. Comments regarding specific student discipline cases or personnel issues, for example are not allowed during the open session. Generall, tese types of comments should be referred to the teacher, principal or administrator who is closest to the situation.

Typically, board members do not engage in dialogue with the public during its meetings. If the question is in regard to an item on the agenda, the board may answer the question while that agenda item is being discussed. The board can also direct district administration to follow up on individual questions outside of the board meeting.

The board rarely can be expected to act immediately on an issue brought before it for the first time. Even with more familiar issues, the board takes action only after it thoroughly examines all aspects of a matter. Individuals can, however, expect the board to act as promptly as circumstances allow and notify them when it arrives at a decision.
