Addressing the Board

To address the board during a regular board meeting, speakers must complete a registration form and return it the Julie Moye, School Board Coordinator, before the board reconvenes from closed session. During the public comments portion of the agenda, the registered speaker will be allowed to address the board.

To address the board, each speaker should follow these guidelines:

• Speakers should address the board from the podium microphone by first stating his/her name before making the public comment.
• Speakers are limited to three minutes to make comments, unless modified based on MISD Board Policy BED (Local).
• Copies of presentations should be made available to all trustees and the superintendent.
• Board policy prohibits the discussion of complaints against district employees during an open forum.
