October 6, 2026 at 7:00 PM - Special Voting Session

Description: 
A special voting meeting of the board is primarily for the purpose of personnel or other necessary items of business. This voting session is a normal occurrence each year in order to ensure that we are as close to fully staffed as possible. This meeting is open to the public to attend in person.
 
As per board policy 903: Public Participation in Board Meetings - anyone who wishes to speak at a board meeting will be asked to sign up by 3:30 p.m. on the day of the board meeting. Sign-ups can be completed by emailing school board secretary, Mrs. Janice Boyer, at boardsecretary@warwicksd.org, or by calling (717) 626-3700, ex. 7007. You will be asked to provide your name, address, and the subject of your comments. 

Board meetings are designed for the district to be able to conduct business and should be places of appropriate decorum, and treated with the same respect as a legal proceeding. All those in attendance must recognize their personal behavior cannot interfere with, or otherwise disturb, the intended purpose of these meetings. Additionally, we are setting an example for the students of our district. Students may be physically or virtually present at any time.  
 
Based on the events of previous board meetings, where an individual disrupted the meeting and resulted in additional conversation immediately outside of our meeting room, it is necessary for the Warwick Board of School Directors to place additional requirements on those in attendance to maintain order. Moving forward, this board will no longer tolerate inappropriate behavior of any kind during board meetings including, but not limited to:

*Talking during the meeting.  There will be no talking in the audience during a board meeting. 

1. A security officer will be stationed in front of the audience during the meeting.
2. The security officer and/or any board member or administrator may signal the board president of talking in the audience by raising their hand.
3. Individuals who talk during the meeting will be asked to state their name for the record and given a warning.  If that individual speaks again during the meeting, they will be asked to leave the meeting.
4. Individuals who refuse to provide their names will be asked to leave the meeting immediately.

*Inappropriate remarks or behavior during public comment.  Prior to speaking at the podium, individuals will be asked to state their name and the topic which they will be speaking on. If the comment is at the beginning of the meeting directed at an Agenda Item, individuals will identify the agenda item for which the comment is directed.

• Individuals whose comments are abusive, obscene or irrelevant will be asked to sit down and will be given a warning for the record.
• Individuals who are not observing reasonable decorum will be asked to sit down and given a warning for the record. 
• Individuals who address the crowd, taunt or otherwise inflame others in attendance will be asked to sit down and given a warning for the record.
• Individuals who are repeatedly warned at multiple meetings may be subject to further action including but not limited to restricted access to board meetings for a period of time.

The school board respects the right of taxpayers and residents to speak, but public comment is not a forum to interfere with, or disrupt, the purpose of these meetings.  Your cooperation with these expectations is appreciated.
