    Persons wishing to be on the agenda shall contact the superintendent's office one week prior to the board meeting, giving the nature of the presentation and the name and address of each speaker.

    There will be a period for public comment at the beginning of the meeting and a period at the end of the meeting.

    Media Personnel: The placement of microphones, lighting and technical equipment shall be approved by the board and be handled in such a manner that the meeting is not disrupted. Electronic recording of meetings is permitted with advance notification.
