    Public Comment Protocol

    At Bolton Academy your voice matters. We encourage our community to come and spend time with us at our GO Team meetings to learn more about the governance side of Bolton Academy as well as share with us any concerns you may have.

    • Opportunities for public comment shall be provided at least four (4) times in a school/fiscal year and noted on the meeting agenda
    • Up to 20 minutes will be set aside for public commentary at select meetings
    • Public comment is open to all
    • Once the GO Team meeting has started, those wishing to speak will indicate their name and topic of address in the virtual meeting chat
    • The principal will introduce the speakers
    • Each speaker will have 2 minutes to share with the GO Team
    • The GO Team will not directly address concerns but may add items to future agendas or later assist speakers with needs
    • The Vice Chair will time the speakers and at 2:00 minutes thank them for sharing
    • If there are no speakers for public commentary at the published meeting start time the GO Team will proceed with their agenda
    • If there are more than 10 speakers for any public commentary, only the first 10 will have the opportunity to speak at the meeting
    • The Public Comment period is not the only means for providing input. If there are urgent matters that need the GO Team's attention, the school can organize Information Sessions or the GO Team can schedule separate Public Comment meetings to gather information from stakeholders.

    The public comment period is designed to gain input from the public. It is not for immediate responses by the GO Team to the public comment presented. At the end of each public comment period, the period will be closed and the GO Team will move on to the next agenda item. If there are questions or information that you have for the GO Team, you may also contact one or more of the GO Team members before of after the meetings.
