The purpose of public participation is to provide an opportunity for residents of the district to comment on issues as they relate to the McGuffey School District. Residents shall approach the Board and state their name and municipality of residence which will be recorded by the Board Secretary. In order to conduct an efficient meeting, time limits determined by the Board may be instituted during the public participation period. The public participation period is not the appropriate forum for negative comments regarding any individual student or employee, as issues regarding students and/or personnel are discussed in executive session.
