Springfield Local Schools Board of Education : Statement regarding public input at meetings

The Board of Education recognizes the value to school governance of public comment on educational issues and the importance of allowing members of the public to express themselves on school matters of community interest.           

The Board is also committed to conducting its meetings in a productive, civil and efficient manner.

Public comments shall be guided by the following principles and Board Policy 0169.1 : 

  1. If a meeting is held in-person, public comments should be delivered in-person at the advertised location of the meeting. 
  2. In the event of a virtual meeting, public comments will be accepted in two formats: 
    1. E-MAIL
      1. Public comments must be sent to comments@springfieldspartans.org in order to be read aloud. 
    2. VIRTUAL
      1. Public comments may be delivered by the individual through ZOOM. Individuals must register at www.springfieldspartans.org/boe-register. Individuals video and audio will be unmuted by the moderator at their time to speak. Audio and video will be muted immediately at the close of their comment period. A timer will be shown to keep time. 
    3. Public comments or registration to attend must be completed 1 hour prior to the start of the meeting. Any comments or registrations received after the deadline will be held for the next regular meeting.
