School Committee Policy
In order that all citizens who wish to be heard before the committee have a chance and to insure the ability of the committee to conduct the district's business in an orderly manner, the following rules and procedures are adopted:
1. Topics for discussion must be limited to those items listed on the school committee meeting agenda for that evening.
2. Improper conduct and remarks will not be allowed. If a speaker persists in improper conduct or remarks, the chair may terminate that individual’s privilege of address.
3. All remarks will be addressed through the chair of the meeting.
4. Speakers may offer such objective criticisms of the school operations and programs as concern them, but in public session the committee will not hear personal complaints of school personnel nor against any member of the school community. Under most circumstances, administrative channels are the proper means for disposition of legitimate complaints involving staff members.
5. Comments longer than three (3) minutes may be presented in written form to the committee before or after the meeting for the committee members’ review and consideration at an appropriate time.
