PUBLIC COMMENT
Pursuant to BVUSD Board Bylaw 9323, Government Codes 54954.2 and 54954.3 and Education Code 35145.5, 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 as follows:
Members of the public may provide input on non-agenda items during Public Appearances. Board members or district staff members may ask clarifying questions or briefly respond to statements or questions from the public about items not appearing on the agenda, but will not engage in discussion or take action. Board members may also ask staff to report back to the Board or place a matter of business on a future agenda.
Any person wishing to be heard by the Board shall first be recognized by the president. Members of the public may have up to three minutes per speaker and up to 20 minutes per item unless the Board president, with Board consent, adjusts the amount of time. Any such adjustment shall be done equitably so as to allow a diversity of viewpoints.
The Board shall not prohibit public criticism of its policies, procedures, programs, services, acts, or omissions; however the Board may remove disruptive individuals and order the room cleared for persistent disruption or statements that threaten the safety of any person(s) at the meeting. When the room is ordered cleared due to a disturbance, further Board proceedings shall concern only matters appearing on the agenda.
