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. At this point, you may leave the Zoom conference room. Due to limited staff resources, we will not be able to provide technical assistance in the event you run into technical issues.
Regular meetings are held on the third Thursday of each month at 4:30 p.m., which is followed by public comment. The board votes on each month’s action items during this meeting. Regular Board meetings are held at 1860 Lincoln in room 735.

Work sessions are held on the first Thursday of each month. These meetings serve as an opportunity to prepare for the regular meetings and to study issues before voting.
