E. Public Forum

The next item on our agenda is Open Forum. This time is set aside for the Board to hear comments from the public per Board Policy 213 - Public Participation in Meetings.

On behalf of fellow board members, I invite any member of the audience to approach the Board with comments about items of interest or concern. Please begin by stating your name and contact information. Please limit your comments to three minutes so that we can keep the meeting moving in a timely manner. Comments from the public are not limited to items or topics on tonight’s agenda, but they are limited to matters within the Board’s authority. Please understand, however, the board members do not intend to make an immediate response. Iowa’s Sunshine Law prohibits us from having a discussion without the proper notice to all of the school district community that the issue would be discussed at tonight’s board meeting.  Also, please remember you are making comments in a public meeting. Should you make comments that the subject of the comments is considered to be inflammatory or libelous, you, as an individual, may be subject to legal action brought by the subject of your comments. 

Thank you for your support of our school district.
