     Public Comments Protocol
The School Committee welcomes public comment on items that are within the scope of the School Committee's responsibilities.  The Public Comment agenda item is reserved for this purpose.  Members of the public, wishing to address the Committee, should be aware of the following guidelines:  
  -  The chair will recognize those 
     wishing to speak and give them 
     the floor.  Only persons 
     recognized by the Chair may 
     speak.  For the purpose of the 
     minutes, speakers should identify
     themselves at the beginning 
     of their remarks. 
  -  The purpose of Public Comment is  
     to receive input from the 
     community, not to engage in 
     prolonged conversation with the 
     Committee. The Chair will ensure 
     that any comment or questions 
     that requires a response from the 
     Committee or the School 
     Department will be addressed in a 
     timely manner.
  -  All comments should be addressed 
     through the Chair, not any 
     individual Committee member or to 
     others in attendance.    
  -  Speakers are expected to respect 
     confidentially.  This includes 
     the confidentiality of the 
     speaker's own children, as well
     as that of school staff and 
     personnel.
