B – COMMUNICATION FROM THE PUBLIC

 

 

 

The Board recognizes the value of public comment on educational issues and the importance of listening to members of the public in its meetings. The Board also recognizes the statutory and constitutional right of the public to participate in governmental operations. The Board encourages members of the public to participate in and express opinions about issues important to the District. This part of the Board’s meeting is dedicated to public comment on any public matter that is not on the agenda of this meeting and is within the jurisdiction of the Board of Trustees. Members of the public may also address particular items on this agenda either now or at the time the Board considers the particular item.

 

 

 

Please note that pursuant to Board policy the Chair may direct public commentary to ensure an orderly progression of the meeting. This direction may include setting a time limit for public commentary on any particular item. The Chair may also interrupt or terminate an individual’s statements when necessary, including when statements are out of order, too lengthy, personally directed, abusive, obscene, or irrelevant. The Board as a whole shall have the final decision in determining the appropriateness of all such rulings by the Chair.

 

 

 

If you have not already done so, please fill out the public comment form available at the back of the Board room. This will allow the Chair to recognize you before you address the Board. In addition, the Board will receive any written communication at this time.

 

 

 

C – 2005 MONTANA LEGISLATIVE ISSUES

 

 

 

At its Special Meeting on November 29, 2004, the Board of Trustees decided to hold a special Board meeting on January 6, 2004, to discuss issues related to or pending before the 2005 Montana Legislature. The Board Chair anticipates continuing this special meeting from day to day during the 2005 Montana Legislative Session. This will allow the Board to meet as needed during the session to hear, discuss, and act upon legislature-related issues. The continuing meeting will held on each Thursday at noon in the Board Room of Lincoln Center until a different schedule is announced or other room arrangements must be made.

 

 

 

The Board made available on the District’s website information about the 2005 Legislative Session, including a list of bills the District is tracking. Go to http://www.billings.k12.mt.us/?p=leg for more information about the session and bills of interest to the District and public education.
