Notice Regarding Public Comment Montana law requires school districts and other public agencies to include on the agenda for public meetings an item allowing public comment on any public matter not otherwise specifically listed on the agenda that is within the jurisdiction of the agency. As has also been the practice of the District, and in accordance with Montana law, if any member desires to speak to an item that is specifically listed/identified on the agenda, you will be allowed to do so when the item comes up for discussion and action. Comments regarding items specifically listed/identified on the agenda will have a time limit set by the Board Chair. The public comment portion of the agenda is not the time designated to hear items that are specifically listed/identified on the agenda. For those individuals who desire to address the Board during the public comment portion of the meeting, if you haven t already done so, please sign your name to the sheet located at the back of the room and indicate the general topic on which you will be commenting. The board chair person will call individuals to speak in the order listed on the sheet provided. The board would like to remind everyone in attendance that to avoid violations of individuals rights of privacy, a member of the public wishing to address the Board during this time will not be allowed to make comments about any student, Staff member, or member of the general public during his/her designated time to speak.
