                                                                     AGENDA

I.   Call to Order  Penny Tyynismaa, Board President

II.  Roll Call and Declaration of Quorum  Mary Boege, Board Secretary

III. Adoption of Agenda

IV.  Public Comment

The next item on our agenda is Open Forum.  The time is set aside for the Board to hear comments from the public.

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 two minutes so that we can keep the meeting moving in a timely fashion, allow others an opportunity to speak, and allow the board to complete the full board agenda 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, that 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.                          

Thanks for your support of our school district.
