Please plan your presentation in advance to ensure that it is as clear and concise as possible. Be prepared to email your comments to board@dpsk12.org in case we experience technical issues during the meeting.
When it is your turn to speak, you will be called upon by the President and you will be unmuted. Once the allotted 3 minutes are complete, you will be muted once again.
