Important information for Regular School Board Meetings

Regular School Board Meetings are typically held on the second Wednesday of each month at 9:00 a.m. at the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Administrative Center, located at 5775 Osceola Trail in Naples. (Click here for Calendar of Meetings.) 

Requests to speak at board meetings can now be made online. A registration form will be available and active 24 hours prior to the start of each meeting. The form will be available for submission until 30 minutes before the start of the meeting. At that time, such forms will be made available on site at designated stations. Filling out an online registration card prior to the meeting will hold your place in line to speak.

Public comments at Regular School Board Meetings will be presented in the following order:

1. Consent Agenda Comments - The comment card must be submitted prior to the start of the Consent Agenda comment period.
   
2. The Board will then act on the Consent Agenda.
   
3. Business Agenda Public Comments - Speakers may comment on any proposition (voted) item.  The comment card must be submitted prior to the start of the comment period for each proposition upon which the Board will take official action by vote.
   
4. The Board will then act on the Business Agenda.
5. General Public Comments - The comment card must be submitted prior to the start of the General Public Comment period, which will be held after the Business Agenda and prior to adjournment. Informational items must be addressed during General Public Comments.

All comments and questions are to be addressed directly to the School Board. Speakers are requested to state their name to preface their comments and will be limited to three minutes unless otherwise noted or unless granted additional time by the Board Chair.

Please note that this is a business meeting of the School Board. Accordingly, public comments will not be responded to by Board Members at the meeting. Members of the public may always contact School Board Members outside of the business meeting by means of email or other forms of communication. At Regular School Board Meetings, any speakers who wish to use electronic visual aids must submit them to the Communications Department by 12:00 pm two business days prior to the meeting. Any speakers who wish to provide supporting documents to the Board must give them to the Board Specialist who will provide them to Board Members after the meeting.
