How can I speak during a public forum at a Board of Education meeting?

The Board of Education is currently in a hybrid Board meeting format, providing the public the opportunity to participate in public forums virtually or in person.

Community members may sign up for a public forum by emailing the Board of Education office (boardoffice@hcpss.org) with public forum topic. The first 10 community members to notify the office will be registered – five for the afternoon session and five for the evening session, with three minutes each to present their topic. A request to speak does not guarantee confirmation. Prior to the meeting, registrants will be provided confirmation and instructions how to read their comments during a Board meeting.

All persons are expected to exhibit civil behavior regarding their comments in accordance with Policy 1000 Civility.

Complete details on Public Forum are available online.
