FAQs About Public Comments

Q: When are members of the public permitted to speak during board meetings?

Q: How long can each citizen speak?

Q: What if a citizen wants to provide a handout?

Q: Is a written copy of my comments required?

A: No, a copy is not required. However, if you wish to provide a copy, you are welcome to give it to the school board clerk immediately after you have finished addressing the board. However, please be aware that anything you submit will become a permanent part of the historical record of the meeting. It will be attached to the meeting minutes forever and, per the Code of Virginia, cannot be removed from the minutes. It is therefore recommended that you not include any private information in your comments (e.g., telephone number, address, email, children's full names, etc.).
