About Board Meetings:
Board meetings are public meetings where elected officials discuss and take action on agenda items.
Can I Speak Before the Board?
Absolutely! Each Pullman School Board meeting agenda includes a "Public Comment" section. This is when the Board allows public comment. Here are some things to be aware of about public comment. By law:
- The Board cannot discuss or act upon any visitor concerns that have not been publicly announced in the agenda.
- The Board may limit the time, manner, and place of public comment. We accept all public comment during the "Public Comment" section of the agenda. Each individual speaker must sign in to speak, and may speak for up to 3 minutes during the public comment period, but the total length of the public comment period will not normally be limited. Individual speaker comments are timed to keep the process fair to all.
- Any member of the public may address the Board. For example, there is no requirement that a speaker live in the Pullman school district or be a US citizen. However, all speakers are asked to provide their name and address so that speakers are accurately identified in the minutes.
- The Board welcomes public comment and asks that your comments be civil and respectful to all.
