“  |

0167.3 - PUBLIC PARTICIPATION AT BOARD MEETINGS

The Board recognizes the value of public comment on educational issues and the importance of allowing members of the public to express themselves on Corporation matters. Any person or group wishing to place an item on the agenda shall register their intent with the Superintendent and the Board President no later than seven (7) days prior to the meeting and include:

A. name and address of the participant;

B. group affiliation, if and when appropriate;

C. topic to be addressed.

Such requests shall be placed on the agenda only if approved by the Superintendent and the Board President.

To permit fair and orderly public expression, the Board may provide a period for public participation at every regular meeting of the Board and publish procedures to govern such participation in Board meetings.

The presiding officer of each Board meeting at which public participation is permitted shall administer the procedures of the Board for its conduct.

The presiding officer shall be guided by the following rules:

A. Public participation shall be permitted as indicated on the order of business at the discretion of the presiding officer.

B. Attendees must register their intention to participate in the public portion of the meeting upon their arrival at the meeting.

C. Participants must be recognized by the presiding officer and will be requested to preface their comments by an announcement of their name, address, and group affiliation, if and when appropriate.

D. Each statement made by a participant shall be limited to five (5) minutes duration unless the Board determines otherwise.

E. No participant may speak more than once on the same topic except as permitted by the President.

F. All statements shall be directed to the presiding officer; no person may address or question Board members individually.

G. The presiding officer may:

1\. prohibit public comments which are frivolous, repetitive, or harassing;

2\. interrupt, warn, or terminate a person's statement when the statement is too lengthy, personally directed, abusive, obscene, or irrelevant;

3\. request any individual to leave the meeting when that person behaves in a manner that is disruptive of the orderly conduct of the meeting;

4\. request the assistance of law enforcement officers in the removal of a disorderly person when that person;s conduct interferes with the orderly progress of the meeting.

5\. call for a recess or an adjournment to another time when the lack of public decorum so interferes with the orderly conduct of the meeting as to warrant such action.

There are two (2) portions of the meetings during which the participation of the public is invited--at the beginning of the meeting for items to be addressed that are not on the agenda and during the Action Items portion of the agenda.

Tape or video recordings are permitted. The person operating the recorder should contact the Superintendent prior to the Board meeting to review possible placement of the equipment, and agrees to abide by the following conditions:

A. No obstructions are created between the Board and the audience.

B. No interviews are conducted during the Board meeting.

## Academic performance[edit]

### Proficiency assessments[edit]

Each year, state and local education agencies use tests and other standards to assess student proficiency. Although the data below was published by the U.S. Department of Education, proficiency measurements are established by the states. As a result, proficiency levels are not comparable between different states and year-over-year proficiency levels within a district may not be comparable because states may change their proficiency measurements.[6]

#### Mathematics[edit]

The following table shows the percentage of district students who scored at or above the proficiency level each school year:[7]

School year  |  All (%)  |  Asian/Pacific
