To provide the public its right to address the Board during meetings and to ensure orderly conduct, a member of the public may address the Board for up to three (3) minutes during the public comment period designated on the Agenda.

Completion of this form lets the Board President knows that you would like to speak during Public Forum. Forms are also available at Board meetings. If you would like to submit your completed form prior to the meeting, please email it to doug.newington@csschools.net
