8.0 PUBLIC PARTICIPATION AT BOARD MEETINGS
The Board of Trustees recognizes that citizens of the community have the right and are encouraged to attend Meetings of the Board, and to observe its deliberations.
Procedures have been established for citizens to place matters directly related to school district business on the agenda of any regular Board Meeting. Requests for placement must be made in writing and delivered to the office of the District Superintendent not later than 4:00 p.m. on the 6th business day prior to the Meeting. The position of the item on the agenda will be determined by the Superintendent, who may consult with the Board President on the matter. Items placed on the agenda by the public will be for information and discussion, so that the Board may be advised of the views of the community.
Members of the public may address the Board regarding items on the agenda before or during the Board's consideration of the items. Prior to the start of the Meeting, persons wishing to speak are requested, on forms provided, to indicate their name, address, and item on which they intend to speak. If the matter is listed as an item for Board action, the Board will not take action until persons who have requested to speak have done so. Unless otherwise approved by the Board, the total time allotted to all persons wishing to speak to an item will be 3 minutes. These comment time allocations cannot be assigned by one member of the public to another for the purpose of extending the period of public comment by anyone person.
Each person who addresses the Board must first be recognized by the presiding officer. Comments must be addressed to the Board as a whole and not to individual staff Members or District employees. The Board and staff are not obligated to comment on or respond to addresses by the public.
Persons appearing before the Board are reminded, as a point of information that Members of the Board are without authority to act independently, as individual's, in official matters. No person is granted any privilege by the Board to make statements that may be considered defamatory or otherwise actionable by other persons, including District officers and employees.
To address the Board on an item not on the agenda, please fill out an Acton-Agua Dulce Unified School District Comments Card available at the entry door and give it to the Board President. The President will recognize you during the Comments portion of the Meeting. Upon recognition, state your name and make your statement. For items not on the agenda, please note the following stipulation of the Brown Act.
Pursuant to the Brown Act, Governing Board Members cannot discuss any item which does not appear on the agenda. The Governing Board may provide a reference to staff or other resources of information, request staff to report back at a subsequent Meeting, or direct staff to plan an item on a future agenda.
Complaints against employees are addressed in closed session, and the District's complaint procedure should be followed before discussion with the Board.
