April 13, 2020 Virtual Meeting
Executive Order 2020-21 prohibits all public gatherings of any number of people until after April 13, 2020. This requires the Grand Ledge Public Schools Board of Education to meet electronically.
Guidelines for Public Participation in the Virtual Board Meeting:
- Participants must use their first and last name when signing into the meeting.
- Participants will begin in the Zoom “waiting room” and are admitted to the meeting by the host if they are signed in with their first and last name. Please be patient.
- Participants other than members of the Board of Education and the Superintendent shall refrain from starting their video feed. Video feeds will be forced off by the host if needed.
- Participants will be muted upon admittance to the meeting.
- Participants will be permitted to use Zoom’s chat function only with the host. The meeting host can not answer questions on behalf of the board or the superintendent, therefore chat is for meeting facilitation, technical assistance to the extent possible, and for expressing interest in making public comments.
- Participants should raise their Zoom hand if they wish to address the board during public comment. The host will unmute your microphone, invite you to open video, and announce each participant for their public comment.
- When addressing the Board:
- Introduce yourself with name and address
- You will be allowed up to 3 minutes
- Out of respect for board members, students and staff, you will be interrupted if you personally attack a board member or district employee on issues unrelated to their job performance or mention a student's name when discussing behavior or other incidents
- You will be reminded when you are approaching your 3-minute limit
- The board will not respond to questions or comments during public comment. However, the Superintendent will do his best to answer questions at the end of the meeting. If immediate answers are not available, arrangements will be made to provide you the information requested.
