Public Comment at Board Meetings
The State Board of Education values public input. The role of the State Board of Education is to actively listen to and reflect on public comments. Each person wishing to address the Board must sign-up individually for the Public Comment period on the agenda. A sign-up sheet will be placed by the board room entrance and each name will be called upon by the Board’s Executive Officer. Public Comment allows the Board and Director of the Oregon Department of Education to hear issues of interest, but does not allow an opportunity for dialogue between the speaker, Board or Director. The Board may ask staff to respond to public comments or questions raised during the public comment period.
The guidelines below for public input emphasize respect and consideration of others:
- A sign-up sheet will be placed by the room entrance and each name will be called upon by the Board’s Executive Officer.
- The Board’s Executive Officer will read off the names of the speakers who signed up to testify. Individuals called will come up to the testimony table and will have three minutes to testify, unless otherwise stated.
- Please begin by stating your name for the record.
- Each person providing public comment will have a total of three minutes; when your time is up, a buzzer will sound. The Board respectfully asks that you conclude your comments at that time. Taking more time reduces others ability to provide public comments.
- Those providing public comment may submit written testimony before or at the meeting.
- If an interpreter is required, please notify the Board Officer at least 48 hours in advance.
