Education; public comment periods during meetings of local boards of education; provide
House Second Readers
Summary
The bill changes state law so that every local board of education must include a public comment period in its regular monthly meetings, list it on the agenda, and make the meeting—including the comment period—available via recording or live webcast. Boards cannot require more than 24‑hour notice from speakers, and the chair may set time limits. It also obligates boards to publish meeting dates and notices online (and optionally in a newspaper) and to adopt rules of conduct for public meetings.
