Each individual gets one opportunity to speak per board meeting for the time allotted by the Board, and individuals must be present at the time they are called to provide a comment, or they forfeit their opportunity to speak.
Speakers' remarks are limited to a maximum of three minutes. This time may be adjusted by the presiding officer in order to accommodate a high number of speakers. Comments of a similar nature may be consolidated into one representative comment.
The Board cannot answer questions, nor can they deliberate on any subject that is not included on the Agenda. The Board may consider a proposal to place the subject of a public comment on the agenda of a subsequent meeting, in which case it may be discussed by the Board. Each public comment may receive a written response.
Speakers are asked to refrain from sharing personal information about students or mentioning specific Texans Can staff members by name.
The presiding officer or designee shall determine whether a person addressing the Board has attempted to solve a matter administratively through resolution channels established by policy. If not, the person shall be referred to the appropriate policy to seek resolution.
The Board shall not tolerate disruption of the meeting by members of the audience. If, after at least one warning from the presiding officer, any person continues to disrupt the meeting by his or her words or actions, the presiding officer may request assistance to have the person removed from the in-person meeting or may remove and block a virtual attendee.
