At its regular meetings, members of the public may address the Board during the public comment portion of the meeting on any matter related to public education, which includes the actions of the Board. During the public comment portion of any committee of the Board or any advisory committee of the Board, the Board requests that members of the public only address the committee on matters on the committee’s published agenda and any matters added to the agenda during the meeting by the committee.

Requests to address the Board or one of its committees during the public comment portion of the meeting shall include the subject to be discussed and the name of the speaker.

Requests to address the Board or one of its committees during the public comment portion of the meeting should be submitted to Emily Webb at emily.webb@doe.virginia.gov in advance of the meeting, but may be submitted the day of the meeting, at the discretion of the President or committee chairperson.  In honoring such requests, the Board will limit such comments to three minutes for each speaker at the discretion of the President or committee chairperson.

The Board President or committee chairperson may, in his or her discretion, extend the public comment portion of the meeting, allocate the time available for public comment, adjust the order of speakers, or take other reasonable measures to ensure that the Board hears multiple views on any matter presented to the Board.

Public comment speakers will be encourage to provide multiple written copies of their comments or other materials amplifying their views.
