Board cut public comment time to two minutes per speaker

What happened

On February 26, 2026, the board adopted a bylaw limiting public comment to two minutes per speaker and 30 minutes per topic. Before that, the rules allowed five minutes per speaker on each item. The October 2026 agenda lists a 20-minute limit per topic.

Why it matters to families

Public comment is the main way residents speak to the board. In 2025-26 many parents and staff used it to raise concerns about the school.

The evidence

The February 26, 2026 special meeting minutes record the bylaw's adoption. Earlier minutes print the five-minute rule. The October 8, 2026 agenda prints the two-minute, 20-minute limit.
