BOARD MEETINGS

Providence Hall Charter School usually holds Board of Trustees meetings on the first Thursday of each month at 3:45 PM in the Library of the High School, but the date, time, and location may differ, so refer to the posted meeting details.

The public is welcome to attend any Board of Trustees open meetings. There is a designated time at the beginning of open meetings for public comment, but keep in mind this is not an open dialog or or a Q&A session. Those desiring to make comments need to email providencehallboard@gmail.com no later than 24 hours before the scheduled meeting. Emails received outside this time will not be read. The email should include the name and the general location where the individual lives. Emails will be read in the order received. Emails will be read up to three minutes in length. The public should be aware that the Board is unable, by law, to deliberate or take action on items raised during the public comment period. In those situations where large groups of people desire to address the Board on the same subject, the Director requests that those groups select only one or two individuals from the group to email the Board on behalf of the group and shall be allocated up to six minutes for the email to be read. The Board will not take public comment on personnel issues or statements regarding the character, professional competence, and the physical or mental health of an individual during Board meetings. Public comment regarding items on the agenda will be accepted during the time the agenda item is discussed. Those comments should be emailed to providencehallboard@gmail.com during the time of the discussion on that item. Emails received outside the discussion will not be read. All other guidelines on public comments as listed above apply to agenda item comments as well.
