What’s in it
AI summary School district boards would be required to set aside time during their regular and special meetings for the public to speak. Each person who wants to comment would be allowed to talk, though the board can set a time limit as long as it is the same for everyone.1
Read the official explanation
This bill requires regular meetings and special meetings of the boards of directors of school districts to include at least minutes to receive public comment. The bill provides that the board shall allow each interested member of the public to speak during the public comment period, but may impose a time limit on the amount of time a member of the public is allowed to speak if the time limit is the same for each speaker and necessary due to the amount of people wishing to speak.
