November 9, 2020 Board of Education Meeting Info |
The Board of Education will hold a public meeting tonight, Monday, November 9, 2020 at 7 p.m.
Due to the current health crisis, we will continue to hold Board of Education meetings virtually until further notice. Meetings will be held in a webinar format during which participants will have the ability to ask questions and make comments. Registration is required. Meetings will be livestreamed on Facebook @LivSchools. |
PUBLIC COMMENT GUIDELINES:
Members of the public attending Board of Education meetings are permitted to voice their opinions on school-related topics at specified times during the meeting. Our goal is to maintain the formality, decorum and efficiency of our meetings in their current remote format. Therefore, we will adhere to the following guidelines.
- Those who wish to participate in the meeting may do so by registering for the webinar.
- Once in the webinar, those who wish to speak must raise their hand virtually and, when called on, must state their name and address for the record. Each speaker will have three minutes to address the Board. A timer will be displayed on the screen.
- The Board will hear all comments and will respond accordingly.
Please note that we will no longer be accepting questions and/or comments for Board meetings via email. In addition, the Board will not be communicating through the livestream comments on Facebook or through any means of virtual communication within the webinar.
Emailed feedback and questions are always welcome and will be shared with the appropriate party for review:
