0167 PUBLIC PARTICIPATION IN BOARD MEETINGS

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

In order to permit the fair and orderly expression of such comment, the Board shall provide a period for public comment at every public meeting of the Board. Public participation shall be permitted only as indicated on the order of business in Board Bylaw No. 0164.

Public participation shall be extended to residents of this district, persons having a legitimate interest in the actions of this Board, persons representing groups in the community or school district, representatives of firms eligible to bid on materials or services solicited by the Board, and employees and pupils of this district, except when the issue addressed by the participant is subject to remediation by an alternate method provided for in policies or contracts of the Board.

Public participation shall be governed by the following rules:

1. All persons wishing to participate in a public Board meeting shall register their intent with the Board Secretary in advance of the meeting.

2. A participant must be recognized by the presiding officer and must preface comments by an announcement of his or her name, place of residence, and group affiliation, if appropriate.

3. Each statement made by a participant shall be limited to five minutes' duration.

4. No participant may speak more than once on the same topic until all others who wish to speak on that topic have been heard.

BOARD OF EDUCATION2 POLICY HOPATCONG BYLAWS 0167/Page 2 of 2 Public Participation in Board Meetings M

The presiding officer may interrupt, warn, or terminate a participant's statement when the statement is too lengthy, personally directed, abusive, obscene, or irrelevant; request any individual to leave the meeting when that person does not observe reasonable decorum; request the assistance of law enforcement officers in the removal of a disorderly person when that person's conduct interferes with the orderly progress of the meeting; call for a recess or an adjournment to another time when the lack of public decorum so interferes with the orderly conduct of the meeting as to warrant such action; and waive these rules when necessary for the protection of privacy or the efficient administration of the Board's business.

CHAIN OF COMMAND

All members of the Board of Education and employees of the Hopatcong School District are directed to observe faithfully the chain of communications established by the district organizational plan.

The Board expressly disapproves of any attempt to expedite the resolution of a problem by disregard of the organizational plan and the appropriate processes. A staff member's persistent disregard for the established management organization of this district in violation of this policy will be considered an act of insubordination subject to discipline.

PUBLIC COMPLAINTS AND GRIEVANCES

The Superintendent shall establish procedures for the hearing of requests and complaints regarding district personnel, the educational program, instructional and resource materials, and the operation of the school district. Procedures will be governed by the following guidelines:

1. The matter will be resolved initially, wherever possible, by informal discussions between or among the interested parties.

As a junior, Mallory has made varsity football, competition and basketball cheer all three years. While practicing endlessly, she maintains high honors. Mallory is an excellent example of hard work, dedication and good old fashion work ethic. It’s not easy but she makes it look as if it is, by the outstanding grades she maintains and her performance on the mat.

SPECIALTY AREA (Instrumental) – Tara Nixdorff, Sophomore

Tara’s technique has improved tremendously the last four weeks. She has mentored another student on the same instrument, therefore improves the students technique as well. Tara explores her musical abilities outside the classroom.

Subject: Your students' performance

Mr. Zimmermann,

As the President of the Board of Trustees of The Lake Hopatcong Jewish Center I would like to extend a warm thank you to you and your students. They performed on Sunday, December 6, 2015 in our synagogue following the lighting of the Hanukkah Menorah at Borough Hall. Your students were polite, efficient and talented!

Your performance was enjoyed by our congregants and citizens from varied walks of life and communities. We were so pleased with this event and the Board is in agreement that we should make this a holiday tradition.

The hard work you and the band put forth was well appreciated and I hope that this note garners them some well-earned recognition.

Until next year, Jody Verdi, President of the Board of Trustees, LHJCC
