    Speaking at School Board Meetings

    Work Sessions

    • The first opportunity is near the beginning of Work Sessions. This agenda item, called “Community Relations,” is a 15-minute time period set aside by the Board President to hear residents speak. Each speaker may speak once, for up to two minutes, on any topic. Each Board member may have up to two minutes to respond. At the end of 15 minutes, the Board will move to the next agenda item. Speakers must then wait until the end of the Work Session to address the Board.
    • At the end of every Work Session, after Board reports have been presented and after the Board folder has been reviewed, community residents will be given an opportunity to speak for up to 5 minutes (for those who call in advance) or for up to 2 minutes (those who call in advance get to speak first; then all others).
      • To register to speak for 5 minutes, please call the Board secretary at least 24 hours in advance of the meeting at 412-369-5437. It will be necessary to give a topic and you must be a resident of the District. Speakers will be taken in the order that they called. When called upon to speak, the individual will be asked to give his/her name and home address.
      • To register to speak for 2 minutes, please call the Board secretary at least 24 hours in advance of the meeting at 412-369-5437. It will be necessary to give a topic and you must be a resident of the District. Speakers will be taken in the order that they called. When called upon to speak, the individual will be asked to give his/her name and home address.
      • After everyone who called in advance has spoken, the floor is open to any resident of the District who wishes to speak for up to 2 minutes.

    Regular Meetings

    Residents of the District have two opportunities to speak at a Regular Meeting:

    • Prior to a Board vote, the President will ask for public input on items (agenda items) to be voted on by the Board. To reserve time in advance (either 5 minutes or 2 minutes), speakers should follow the same procedure as stated above for Work Sessions. Names will be called in the order that calls are received.
    • The second opportunity to speak is at the end of the meeting. Residents are invited to speak on any topic of interest to the District. To reserve time in advance (either 5 minutes or 2 minutes), speakers should follow the same procedure as stated above for Work Sessions Names will be called in the order that calls are received.

    Communication with the School Board is very important. The Board encourages you to attend meetings and be informed. Please do not hesitate to contact us with your ideas and suggestions.
