• COMMUNICATION WITH THE BOARD
    The Public Comment period is a time when community members may share ideas and concerns with the Board. The Lyons Central School District welcomes input from the community. Speakers who wish to address the Board during the public comment time are asked to follow these procedures:

    1. Sign Up: To speak during the public comment session, individuals will contact the District Clerk, Jan Bailey, by phone at 315-946-2200 ext. 2010 or by email at jbailey@lyonscsd.org by 5:00 p.m. the day prior to the scheduled meeting. The District Clerk will communicate the name of the person and the topic that will be addressed to the Board President.
    2. Time: When called to speak, speakers will utilize the seat at the Board table, and clearly state their name and address. Speakers will be allocated a maximum of two (2) minutes to address the Board. If speakers are attending with other community members with similar input, the group will designate one person to address the Board on behalf of the group.
    3. Comments: Speakers may not discuss issues relating to specific school district personnel or students. Personnel issues should be brought up directly to the Superintendent outside of the Board of Education meeting setting. The Board reserves the right to terminate a speaker’s comments if they are in excess of two minutes, are repetitive, or are not appropriate for discussion in an open public forum. 
    4. Responses: Board members will not answer questions, engage in dialogue or debate. Items brought to the attention of the Board may be taken under consideration for future response or action. If you are requesting further discussion of an issue, the Clerk may take a phone number for response at a later time.
