Lake Geneva Joint #1 School Board

The Lake Geneva Joint #1 School District Board of Education values hearing from members of the community. Public comment provides an opportunity for residents, parents, students, staff members, and taxpayers to share perspectives on matters within the Board's responsibilities.

What is Public Comment?

Public comment allows individuals to address the Board during designated portions of Board meetings. It is an opportunity for the Board to listen to community members as it carries out its governance responsibilities.

Public comment is not intended to be a question-and-answer session or a public dialogue with individual Board members. In many cases, comments requiring follow-up will be referred to the Superintendent or appropriate administrators after the meeting.

To ensure all participants have an equal opportunity to speak and meetings remain productive and respectful:

• Speakers will be recognized by the Board president before speaking.

• Each speaker will have up to five minutes to address the Board.

• Please state your name before beginning your comments.

• Comments should be directed to the Board through the Board president.

• Speakers should address matters that fall within the Board's responsibilities.

• Comments should not be directed toward individual Board members, District employees, students, or other audience members.

• Personal attacks, profanity, shouting, or other disruptive conduct are not permitted.

• The Board president may interrupt or conclude remarks that violate Board policy or interfere with the orderly conduct of the meeting.
