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.

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.

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.

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:

BOARD OF EDUCATION1 POLICY HOPATCONG COMMUNITY 9541/Page 1 of 1 Student Teachers 9541 STUDENT TEACHERS
The Board of Education encourages cooperation with colleges and universities in the education of teachers, because the public school offers an experience essential to their training: interaction with pupils and teachers at work in the classroom. Accordingly, the schools of this district will accept students from accredited institutions of higher learning as junior or senior student teachers.
The Board, upon the recommendation of the Superintendent, shall approve all student teachers.
Student teachers shall be selected and assigned by the Superintendent. The Superintendent shall assign student teachers throughout the district in a manner that assures that no single group of pupils will be subject to excessive student teacher classroom hours.
Student teachers shall comply with the health examination required by rules of the State Board of Education and that required for teaching staff members by this Board.
The Board of Education requires every student teacher/intern possess a county substitute credential issued in accordance with N.J.A.C. 6A:9-6.5.
Student teachers shall at all times be subject to the policies of this Board. Student teachers serving in the schools of this district shall be responsible to the Principal for their conduct and to the Teacher for their performance.
Students and other affiliates of educational institutions will be offered the opportunity to visit and observe our district in the course of teacher training programs and educational research projects. Such students will be treated as visitors and will be under the direct supervision of the principal.
All Building Principals must submit to the Superintendent for Board approval the names and colleges of all student teachers with their grade assignment prior to accepting the institutional request.
