Board Bylaw 9323 Meeting Conduct
Any person who wishes to address the Governing Board on a closed session or open session agendized items only must complete and submit an AESD Speaker Request Form, including the specified agendized item, five minutes before the meeting is called to order. Public comments will only be taken specifically on agenda items that are appropriately indicated on the AESD Speaker Request Form during the discussion of those items.
The Board values public comments, and although the Board of Trustees cannot take action or discuss items not on the agenda, The Board of Trustees listens carefully and appreciates input from the public.
Additionally, a public speaker can be cut off for exceeding the allotted time or for willfully causing an actual disruption to the meeting. Before cutting a person off or removing someone, the Board will give at least one clear warning. If you were cut off or warned last time, please consider that your warning.
Individual speakers are allowed three minutes to address the Board on each agendized item. The Board limits the total time for public input on each agendized item to 20 total minutes for all speakers cumulatively. With Board consent, the President may increase or decrease the time allowed for public presentation, depending on the topic and the number of persons wishing to be heard. The President may take a poll of speakers for or against a particular issue and may ask that additional persons speak only if they have something new to add.
