    Guidelines for Speakers at School Advisory Board Meetings 

    Anyone who wishes to speak at a School Advisory Board meeting must complete the Google Form at least one (1) week prior to the scheduled meeting.  Up to twelve (12) speaking slots will be available per Advisory Board Meeting and will be assigned on a first-come, first-serve basis. Each speaker will have two (2) minutes to speak on the topic they submitted to the School Advisory Board. The role of the board members is to listen, so there will be no dialogue between speakers and the Advisory Board. All comments must be respectful and professional in nature. Any speaker who uses inappropriate or derogatory language will not be allowed to continue their comments.
