** Every BOE meeting has a public forum. It is denoted on the agenda as Public Forum, which can also be found on the website under the Board tab. Scroll to the bottom of the page to access it.  If you join the BOE meeting and would like to speak during the Public Forum, please use the chat feature in Zoom to type a message that simply says, “I would like to speak.” You must sign into the Zoom session with your correct name, not a nickname. 

 

Your chat, indicating you want to speak, goes directly to our Chief Technology Officer,  Mr. Britt Shaw,  who manages the Zoom meeting for the BOE. Each person who signed up to speak through the chat feature will be called upon when it is time for the Public Forum. The Board will listen only. This is not a change from previous face-to-face meetings. This portion of the meeting is not intended for the Board to respond or make decisions. They do have the right to ask questions and will follow up with individuals after the meeting if they feel it is necessary. 

 

The Board welcomes your input and apologizes for any miscommunications regarding how to speak during Public Forum when meetings are held electronically.
