Christa: CSB Comment Limit ‘Whackadoo’

Item: Containing public comment: Cd’A school board limits participation at meetings/Maureen Dolan

Christa Hazel: The Coeur d'Alene School District will only want to hear your opinion during a meeting if your opinion is tied to a topic on the agenda. This is an attempt to contain the Whackadoo parents who have a beef with everything. This will affect you if you have an issue, want to speak out about it but can't because it's not an agenda item. This lumps the general public in with the Whackadoos during meetings held in public. You could let your District know that this idea may have unintennded consequences but I think their mind is made up. Per usual.

 

Question: Do you approve of this move by the school board to limit public input?
