Agenda Item 22.

Title
APPROVAL OF THE ADOPTION OF POLICY 2.222 - PUBLIC PARTICIPATION IN MEETINGS

Description
This policy has been created to align with the Board’s desire to split public comment during Board meetings into two portions.

Gap Analysis

Public Comment will be into two portions, agenda comments and general comments.

 

Agenda comments will take place at the start of the meeting, for members of the public wishing to speak on items appearing on that meeting’s agenda.

 

General comments for people wishing to speak on items not appearing on that meeting’s agenda but relevant to the business of the Board or operation of the District, will take place after action has been taken on all agenda items, but prior to Board Member Comments.

 

Priority will be given in speaking order to residents of Sarasota County, Parents/Guardians of a current Sarasota County Schools student, current students of Sarasota County Schools, and employees of Sarasota County Schools.



Previous Outcomes 

This is a new policy.



Expected Outcomes 
When approved as presented, this policy will revise the public comment structure in Board meetings.

Strategic Plan Goal

Pillar 5 – Every Community Engaged

Priority 5.2 – Strengthen Student and Family Engagement


Recommendation
That the School Board Policy 2.222 - Public Participation in Meetings - be approved as presented.
