Procedures for Addressing the Board
The agenda is prepared in advance of each meeting. Anyone wishing to speak before the Board should inform the Superintendent's office in writing by noon on the Monday prior to the Board meeting. This request may be submitted to the attention of the Superintendent's Office at 437 Old Peachtree Road NW, Suwanee, GA, 30024-2978 or by fax to 678-301-6030. Items for the agenda may be suggested by any Board member, staff member, or citizen. Individuals requesting to speak to the Board will receive a follow up call from the Board Secretary, confirming receipt of the request.

Before each regular meeting, a public forum is held at 6:30 p.m. to allow persons not on the agenda an opportunity to address the Board. Citizens may sign up at the Board meeting to speak during the 30-minute public forum period. Speakers are asked to keep their comments brief, and no Board action is taken.
