Official Guide: Submitting Public Comments for the School Board

001Welcome to another video from the Monticello School District. We are going to discuss the procedure for our submitting a citizen comment. When it comes to the decisions made by our school board and district administration, your voice matters and we want to make sure you have the opportunity to address your concerns with the school board. The Monticello School Board meets on the first and third Monday of every month. Meetings on the first Monday begin at 5:00 p.m. and meetings on the third Monday begin at 6:00 p.m. If you wish to address the board, you must submit the citizen comment by 8:00 a.m. the day of the meeting. If you do not submit your comment in time, your inquiry will not be considered until the following board meeting. This is noted under policy 206, which is on our website. We also have a calendar available that lists each of the meeting dates. To submit a citizen comment, you'll want to navigate to our website monticello.k12.mn.us. Then navigate to the school board section of our website. Navigate to the citizen comment tab. Once you have opened the section, click on the citizens comment request button. This will bring you to the Google form. Go through the Google form and fill out as much information as possible. Once you are done, go ahead and click submit. Just like that, you have completed the process. If you have any follow-up questions, please contact our school board liaison Devony Moore at [email protected]. Remember, your voice and opinions are important to every decision that is made because it's every kid, every day.
