OPEN FORUM ANNOUNCEMENT

The Board will now hear comments from those persons who have signed up to

speak. This hearing is for parents, students, and community members to speak to

the board regarding the school district’s federal programs. Each person may speak

for no more than five minutes.

During the hearing, the Board will listen, but it is forbidden by the Texas Open

Meetings Act from discussing any topic raised or making any decision unless that

matter is already on the agenda.

The Board reminds speakers that this hearing is not the time or place to bring the

Board complaints about a particular program or a particular employee. The Board

has adopted specific complaint policies and specific procedures for presenting

those complaints. Those policies require a written complaint, administrative

conferences, and a request that the item be placed on the agenda of a Board

The Board will not entertain complaints or criticisms about individual

employees or other complaints during this hearing. If I, as presiding officer,

determine that a presentation during this hearing is a complaint about an individual

school employee or any other matter, I will respectfully ask that person to stop

speaking and to use the board’s adopted policies and procedure for bringing

complaints or concerns to the board as a matter placed on the agenda of a future

The Board expects that request to be honored and that the person expressing a

complaint will stop when asked. The Board expects all members of the audience to

behave in a polite and orderly fashion during this and all other portions of the
