9. Audience to the Public
For those members of the audience who may not be familiar with the procedures of public
Board Meetings, Board of Education Meetings are open to the public to observe the
School Board conducting official business. Audience to the public permits members of
the community to make comments that are limited to those matters which are on the
agenda.

Persons who record or photograph the proceedings during a meeting may not distract or
obstruct the meeting participants by their movement or with their equipment. They may
not move about the room Ior the purpose oI recording people`s Iaces and may not
position themselves directly in front of the school officials at the dais so as to obscure
their view of the public and the public`s view oI the school oIIicials. Cameras and
recording devices should be placed and used in a stationary location, behind or apart from
those in attendance in a manner that does not impair or obstruct any person`s ability to
view or hear the proceedings or the members of the public.

Requests for specific information are best handled by direct communication with the
individual administrator or teacher responsible for that area. Due to individual's rights of
privacy, we do not discuss particular employees in public. Asking detailed questions at a
Board Meeting does not allow for the review of information necessary to insure that the
response given is accurate and does in fact answer the question. Any questions that can be
responded to will be addressed after all have finished speaking.
