3. Call to the Public
This is the time for the public to comment on issues within the Governing Boards jurisdiction. Speakers will be given one minute to share their comments. State statute prohibits the Governing Board from discussing an item that is not on the agenda and Governing Board members are not permitted to discuss or take legal action on matters raised during the call to the public, unless such matters are properly noticed for discussion and legal action. At the conclusion of each public comment, Arizona law only allows the Governing Board to respond to criticism, request that staff review a matter or request that a matter be added to a future agenda. The Public is discouraged from using this portion of the Agenda to make complaints against school personnel or persons connected with the Schools. Rather, the public is encouraged to use the Schools’ internal procedures for this purpose.

5. Executive Report
The Principal or member of Administrative Staff may give a general report of school operations for the purpose of informing.
