PUBLIC COMMENT GUIDELINES  

• The Board of School Directors encourages comments from the community (the Board requires that public participants be residents or taxpayers of this district) during the Public Comment section of the Agenda.
• If a community member present in the Boardroom wishes to express Public Comment, a request card must be completed to include his/her name, address, contact phone number, and/or email address. 
• The presiding officer will accept Public Comment from only those attending the meeting in person. Upon recognition by the presiding officer of the Board, the individual may begin speaking.
• In accordance with Board Policy 903, a community member may be limited to *five minutes, or a time set at the beginning of the meeting. Please understand that comments are timed, and the presiding officer of the meeting, or designee, will halt comments as appropriate.
• Further, Board policy indicates that the Board will take questions and concerns under advisement and issue a response after due deliberation. A representative of the Board or District administration will contact the individual at the phone number or email provided to share the Board’s response.
• The Board does not allow complaints of a personal nature be initiated at a Public Meeting. Any such complaints will be referred to the Superintendent.

*The presiding officer may alter allotted time for comments should the number of attendees wishing to provide public comment be significantly more than anticipated. This is to allow everyone an opportunity to speak.

Description:  The administration solicited proposals from qualified professional service providers to conduct an independent review of the District’s Business Office operations. The proposed services include an evaluation of the department’s organizational structure, staffing and responsibilities, operational processes and procedures, financial practices, internal controls, technology utilization, and overall efficiency and effectiveness. The review is intended to provide the District with observations and recommendations to assist with future operational, organizational, and staffing considerations. Following the October 13, 2026, Work Session discussions, the decision was made to use PASBO for the review. 

Language has been added to the PASBO proposal to reflect the inclusion of the Board in the process, as requested in the October 13, 2026, Work Session.

The cost of these services will be covered by the surplus of funds that resulted from the reduction in costs in the transition from BoardDocs to Keystone Agenda for the 2026-27 school year.
