While public comment is not a requirement of the Open Meeting Law, our school committee wants to continue to include
it as part of our agenda. Our protocol for Citizens’ Comments was recently updated. It is as follows:
Any individual interested in speaking to an issue which is on the agenda or within the School Committee’s authority during
the Public Comment portion of a School Committee meeting held over Zoom shall sign up to speak by emailing
nrsc@nrsd.net at least 1 hour before the meeting, with a subject line “PUBLIC COMMENT FOR (DATE) MEETING”. The
chairperson will respond to the participant with the zoom link prior to the start of the meeting, and copy the Zoom host via
email. The Zoom host will then allow the individual to join the meeting during the Public Comment segment of the meeting,
which is usually the first 15 minutes. The individual shall display their full name and town of residence on screen when
they join the Zoom meeting. Individuals will be called upon to speak in the order in which their requests were received.
Each individual’s comment shall be in accordance with Policy BEDH After the comment is read, the individual will be
asked to leave the Zoom meeting. If the individual does not leave, the Zoom host will remove the participant.
