At each Board Meeting, members of the public may address the Board on matters that are under the Board's jurisdiction. For items that are on the agenda, the Board will hear public comments when they consider the item during the meeting. For items that are NOT on the agenda, the public may address the Board during the "Public Comment" segment of the agenda. At Special Board Meetings, the Board will hear public comments only on items that are on the agenda.
Public comments are limited to three (3) minutes per person unless there are too many people requesting to speak, in which case the Board President may limit comments to less than three (3) minutes per person. The Board will also limit public comments on items that are not on the agenda to 20 minutes during this segment of the agenda. If the Board is not able to hear all comments on non-agendized items during these 20 minutes, non-agenda item Public Comments will resume after all agenda items have been considered. Members of the public may also email the Board directly at boardoftrustees@lgsuhsd.org.

- Unmute yourself and let staff know if you'd like your video turned on, then proceed with your comment
The Board Meeting is a business meeting of the Board of Education in a public setting; it is not a forum for public debate. Brown Act provisions also prohibit the Board from acting on or discussing matters that are not on the meeting agenda. Therefore, Board Members will not respond directly to speakers or otherwise address speakers' comments.
