Governing Board Public Input Process
Members of the public may sign up to speak on agenda items before the meeting begins. Their name will be called during the PUBLIC SPEAKERS portion of the board meeting. If they wish to speak to an agenda item, but did not sign up for it, they may request to do so. A motion and a second by board members to allow the speaker to address the meeting may be made, followed by a vote of the board. Board members and/or staff may address the public speakers comments during the public speaker’s portion of the meeting or during the discussion of the pertinent agenda item(s).
Dispute Resolution
In the event a parent or a student has an objection to an administrative procedure or practice at the school, the Board has outlined the following steps in order to facilitate resolution of these issues:
● Clarify the issue with student’s teacher at a scheduled appointment, if applicable
● Clarify the issue with school administration at a scheduled appointment
● Clarify the issue with the appointed local board representative F.S. 1002.33 (9) (p) (2)
● Provide written communication regarding the issue to the Board Chair
● Discuss the issues at a scheduled Board meeting
The principal will make the decision when handling disputes with parents; however, parents can obtain the assistance of the Board representative and can thereafter appeal the principal’s decision to the Board.
The Board will make a recommendation to the Principal and the Principal will be asked to take the Board’s recommendation into consideration. The Principal will reassess and make a final determination as to the resolution of the matter.
