Welcome to this meeting of the East Hampton Board of Education.  This meeting is the time when the board conducts its business and observers are always welcome.   This is an official business meeting of the school board conducted under a prepared and limited agenda distributed to the board, town hall, and school offices several days ahead of time.

The policy of the board with respect to public participation during this meeting of the East Hampton Board of Education states:  “All official meetings of the board, except executive sessions, shall be open to the public and opportunities shall be provided for members of the public to present a statement.”

One ten minute period will be provided at the beginning and another at the end of each Board regular session. Comments should be kept to three minutes or less so that everyone has an opportunity to be heard. We ask that each speaker identify themselves and their home address for our records.  You may address the Board from your seat or in front of the chairs. By standing others will be able to hear you better.

The Board will not respond to comments from the public.  The Board or administration will take time to review the comments after the meeting at a future date and give them the fair airing that they deserve.  If the Board or administration believes there is a need to take further action on a citizen’s matter of interest, it may be placed on the agenda for a future meeting.

We thank you for taking the time to share your input, comments and thoughts and allowing us to review them.
