| The
School Board-How to Speak at Meetings
The Moore Board of Education endorses the concept that community
participation in the affairs of the school is essential to maintain
mutual confidence and a high quality of education for all students. The Board will make every
effort to identify the desires of the community and to be responsive
to those desires.
The public is encouraged to attend the meetings of the Board
of Education. With the exception of executive sessions, all regular,
special and emergency meetings of the Board are open to the public.
To provide an opportunity for community involvement, 30 minutes
is set-aside at each regular meeting for the public to speak.
Individuals who would like to speak during this part of the meeting
must complete a form entitled, Community Involvement-Request
to Speak, and submit it to the Clerk of the Board prior to
6:15 p.m. on the evening of the regular meeting. The form is available
from the clerk during regular office hours, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.,
Monday through Friday.
According to Board Policy #1070 “The persons who address the
Board during the public speaking portion of the regular Board
meetings must adhere to the following guidelines:
1) Not use the public speaking portions of Board meetings to
make slanderous, abusive and personal statements against any
individual. The president of the Board may rule any speaker
out of order who makes such statements;
2) Not speak regarding litigation pending against the district
or employee/s of the district.
3) Not be an announced candidate for public office.”
