“  | BDDHZ/KDZ. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION AT SCHOOL BOARD MEETINGS AND PUBLIC HEARINGS

The School Board of the City of Norfolk welcomes the public to the business meetings and public hearings of the Board and dedicates time at these meetings to hear from the public on agenda items and other matters of concern. It is important for all community members to feel welcome and safe in the Board’s business meetings and public hearings. Audience members will be expected to treat all attendees with respect and civility.

I. REQUEST TO SPEAK

Requests to address the Board may be made by signing up to speak at a business meeting or public hearing. A sign-up sheet will be available by the entryway, or requests may be made in advance with the Clerk of the Board.

II. SPEAKER PROCESS

At the time the speaker signs up to speak, the speaker will complete all requested information listed below on the designated sign-up sheet. This information is required by the Clerk for the record.

1. Name
2. Street Address and/or School
3. Email and/or Phone Number
4. Topic

At the time of public comment, when the speaker’s name is called, the following steps will be followed:

1. The speaker will come forward to the speaker’s podium. The speaker will state their name and whether they have a child in Norfolk Public Schools or if they are employed by the district.
2. The speaker will state their position and give facts and other relevant data.
3. If the speaker represents a group or organization, they may ask the others to rise and be recognized.
4. The speaker will give any written statements or supporting materials to the Clerk for the record.

Correspondence with School Board members is subject to the Virginia Freedom of Information Act. This means correspondence may be made public (1) if it deals with Norfolk Public Schools business and (2) if requested, even if marked confidential. Only a few topics are exempt from the disclosure requirement, such as information about identifiable students, and personnel information about individual employees.

III. SPEAKER TIME LIMIT

Speakers are limited to one appearance of three (3) minutes. When the Clerk signals the time is expired, the speaker will end their comments and be seated. The Board Chair will instruct speakers who exceed the time limit.

IV. GROUND RULES FOR ENGAGEMENT

4. Comments should be focused on issues and solutions.
5. Disorderly conduct that threatens disruption of the meeting will be ruled out of order by the Board Chair and the speaker asked to cease and be seated. If the speaker does not stop upon request, he may be removed from the meeting. Disorderly conduct is defined by City Code Section 29-10.
6. All signs brought to the meetings are subject to the following:
1. Signs must be held by hand.
2. Signs cannot obstruct the view of others or television cameras.
3. Signs cannot be posted on the walls.

V. EXPECTATIONS OF THE BOARD

The School Board of the City of Norfolk does not respond to public comments at the time they are given. At the Board’s request, the Superintendent or his/her designee will follow up with individuals as determined by the Superintendent.

Audience members will be expected to treat all attendees with respect and civility, just as Norfolk Public Schools expects of its students and staff.[6]

## 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.[9]

#### Mathematics[edit]

The following table shows the percentage of district students who scored at or above the proficiency level each school year:[10]

School year  |  All (%)  |  Asian/Pacific
Islander (%)  |  Black (%)  |  Hispanic (%)  |  Native
American (%)  |  Two or More
Races (%)  |  White (%)
