SHADY POINT SCHOOL PUBLIC PARTICIPATION AT BOARD MEETINGS:
The Shady Point School Board wishes to be responsive to the public and encourages communication from the public; however, in order to carry on the business of the District in an orderly and businesslike manner, the School Board sets the following rules for public participation at School Board meetings:

1	All meetings of the Board of Education will be open to the public. The public is cordially invited to attend all Board meetings.
2	Meetings of the Board of Education are conducted for the purpose of carrying on the business of the school district. The meetings are not public hearings, but are meetings held in public.
3	Orderly conduct of a meeting does not permit spontaneous discussion from the audience. Individuals or organizations desiring to be heard by the Board shall submit their requests to the Superintendent of Schools or the President of the Board, requesting that an item be placed on the agenda for a specific Board meeting.
4	In accordance with provisions of the Open Meeting Act, unless an item has been posted as an official agenda item, discussion and action may be considered inappropriate.
5	Requests for permission to address the Board shall be submitted in writing no later than 12:00pm on a Wednesday preceding a Monday meeting of the Board or not later than five calendar days preceding other special meetings of the Board. The request shall state the name of the individual or group submitting the request, his/her/their address, purpose of the request and topic to be addressed.
6	The Superintendent of Schools shall confer with the President of the Board of Education concerning approval to place the request item on the agenda and to determine the appropriate meeting for such discussion.
7	A single spokesman shall be selected by groups of organizations to address the Board on an agenda item. Initial presentations are limited to five minutes although the Board of Education may wish to extend the time through question/answer time or through discussion.
8	Individuals or groups making a request to address the Board will be advised by the Superintendent that they are scheduled on the agenda or that the item and/or discussion will be delayed until another meeting.
9	Individuals or groups desiring additional information about any item on the agenda should direct such inquiries to the Superintendent.
10	Persons making presentations at a Board meeting shall address remarks to the President of the Board and may direct questions or comments to Board members or other officers of the School District only upon approval of the President. The Board will not allow verbal attacks on school personnel nor will it discuss individual pupils by name or allow slanderous remarks to be made against any individual. Members of the Board and the Superintendent may have the privilege of asking questions of any person who addresses the Board.
11	The purpose of the policy is to allow a fair and adequate opportunity to be heard, to allow the Superintendent to take direct action when policies have already been established by the Board on the subject of the request, to provide adequate time for the Board to obtain necessary information concerning the subject and to see that the time so devoted to the discussion does not interfere with the fulfillment of the scheduled agenda of the Board.
