Process for Submitting Questions
The Board invites inquiries from the public in the following manner:
- All questions must be submitted electronically through the online form or manually using the form in Appendix 7-A of Board Policy 7 - Board Operations. The questions must be received no later than noon on the Wednesday prior to a scheduled meeting date.
- Questions from the public are to be kept to three minutes and the Board will not permit critical or accusatory statements, within the question, about particular individuals or schools whether named or identifiable by the context.
- The question will be read aloud at the scheduled meeting date by the submitter, or if the submitter is unable to be present at the meeting, by the Board Chair during the “Questions from the Public” portion of the Agenda. The Board Chair will read the question and announce the submitter’s name. (Please note: Should the question(s) be deemed a FOIP Request, the individual will be notified within two weeks after the question was submitted).
- Responses to read questions will be provided as a written summary report under the Report from the Chair at the following regular board meeting.
