How to speak at a meeting

Regular meeting agendas include a Public Comment item. On the October 20, 2026 agenda it comes after celebrations and reports and before the consent agenda, finance and personnel items. The agenda does not state a sign-up process or time limit, so contact the district office before the meeting and ask how to be recognized.

1. Read the agenda on BoardBook. Find the item you care about and when Public Comment falls.
2. Contact the district. Ask how to sign up and how long you will have to speak.
3. Arrive early. Meetings are in the Boardroom at Russellville High School.
