Public Participation: Appendix E – Community Comment Time

Adopted March 21, 2022

Meetings of the Jamesville-DeWitt Board of Education are conducted in public to conduct the business of the district. The meetings are not a public forum.
 
The board of education encourages and welcomes public participation on school-related matters at board meetings. In concert with the Committee on Open Government, the board welcomes comments from both residents and nonresidents. This is the board’s opportunity to listen. We may not directly respond to comments.
 
To allow for public participation, one period not to exceed 30 minutes shall be set aside during the first part of each board meeting for public comment, with priority given to comments on items on the meeting’s agenda. A second 30-minute community comment time period will be set aside at the end of the meeting.

Ground Rules

  1. If you would like to make a comment, please complete the Community Comment Time Google Form, which is also posted on the agenda. Please be sure to include your name, contact information, residency status, the specific topic about which you will speak and the comment time you wish to speak.
    • Requests for Community Comment Time #1 will be accepted between the end of the most recent meeting and prior to the start of Community Comment Time #1 at the next board meeting.
    • Requests for Community Comment Time #2 will be accepted between the end of the most recent meeting and prior to the start of Community Comment Time #2 at the next board meeting.
    • If in person, please give the paper form to the Board Clerk before the Board meeting begins.

2. The order of the speakers will be based on when forms are received. You will be called by the board president or board clerk when it is your turn to speak. 

Please note: When a significant number of individuals want to address the board, priority will be given to district residents and to agenda items in Community Comment Time #1.

  1. The board president or board clerk will state your name and the topic on which you will speak.
    • If attending the meeting virtually, please be sure the name you use to log in to the meeting matches your completed form so you can be identified and unmuted
  2. Please limit your comments to 3 minutes. 
  3. If you have a comment about a specific student or staff member, please refrain and contact the superintendent during normal business hours.
Please note: If you have contacted the superintendent and the outcome is not to your satisfaction, please email the board president.
  1. All comments are made to the board president. The board president will paraphrase the comment to ensure proper understanding and may direct questions to other board members or district personnel. The board president should notify the community member of the proper follow up process, if necessary.
  2. Board members and the superintendent shall have the privilege of asking clarifying questions of any person who addresses the board.
  3. All speakers are to conduct themselves in a civil and respectful manner. Obscene language, libelous statements, threats of violence, statements advocating racial, religious or other forms of prejudice will not be tolerated.
