"Public Comments to the Board of Trustees

Members of the public are encouraged to attend Board meetings and to address the Board concerning any item on the agenda or within the Board's jurisdiction.

 

Agendized items: 

Members of the public wishing to speak before the Board will not be required to fill out a yellow speaker card; anyone wishing to speak on an agenda item shall come forward when called by the Board President; speakers will queue behind the podium and state their name and city prior to speaking; speakers will have three minutes at the podium and may not yield their time to another speaker; total public input on any one agenda item will be limited to twenty minutes (This time may be extended at the discretion of the Board President.); if there are still speakers after twenty minutes they may submit their comments to the Board in writing at kmcelligott@coronadousd.net  

 

Non-agendized and closed session items: 

Anyone wishing to speak to a non-agenda item or a closed session item will be invited to speak at the completion of the entire agenda; speakers will queue behind the podium and state their name and city prior to speaking; each speaker will have three minutes and may not yield their time; total public input at the end of the meeting will be twenty minutes (This time may be extended at the discretion of the Board President.); if there are still speakers after twenty minutes they may submit their comments to the Board in writing at kmcelligott@coronadousd.net

 

Electronically Submitted Public Comments

Comments submitted electronically will be included in the meeting minutes, but will not be read during the meeting. Click here if you would like to submit your comments electronically. 

 

Can Trustees Interact with the Public During Board Meetings?

Per the Brown Act, a Board meeting is not a meeting of the public, but rather a formal business meeting of the Board to conduct the public's business on agendized items. The public has the right to observe the meeting and to provide public comment. The law does not allow the Board to take action or to discuss any item not explicitly posted on the agenda in advance. However, during public comment, Board members may ask for clarification, refer concerns to staff, and/or request that an item be placed on a future agenda.

 

Agenda preparation

Excerpt from Board Bylaw 9322: Agenda/Meeting Materials

 

The Board president and the Superintendent, as secretary to the Board, shall work together to develop the agenda for each regular and special meeting.

Any Board member or member of the public may request that a matter within the jurisdiction of the Board be placed on the agenda of a regular meeting. The request shall be submitted in writing to the Superintendent or designee with supporting documents and information, if any, at least one week before the scheduled meeting date. Items submitted less than a week before the scheduled meeting date may be postponed to a later meeting in order to allow sufficient time for consideration and research of the issue.

The Board president and Superintendent shall decide whether a request from a member of the public is within the subject matter jurisdiction of the Board. Items not within the subject matter jurisdiction of the Board may not be placed on the agenda. In addition, before placing the item on the agenda, the Board president and Superintendent shall determine if the item is merely a request for information, and if so, respond accordingly."
