The Board of Education will hold its final meeting of the 2022-2023 school year at 6:30 p.m. on Monday, June 26, 2023. Due to the fact that the meeting will be held on a Monday instead of the normal Wednesday, the window to sign up to provide public comment and submit public comment has been altered.
The agenda and a link to register to comment before the Board will be published at www.aacps.org/boardcomment at 3 p.m. on Wednesday, June 21, 2023. Those wishing to provide comment must register through that link. Registration for public comment will close at noon on Saturday, June 24, 2023. Speakers may sign up for no more than two agenda items but only once on any individual agenda item.
The Board will hear public comment:
- from up to 10 total speakers (combination of virtual and in person) per agenda item (excluding personnel items, reports, presentations, and recognitions) during a single public comment section in the early portion of the meeting.
- from up to 10 total speakers on items not on the agenda (excluding any student-specific or personnel items) near the end of the meeting.
The following also apply:
- For any item with more than 10 registered speakers, the Board will employ a lottery process to select the speakers.
- Registrants who secure a slot to speak will be notified by email at the email address they provide when they register. All speakers will be allotted 2 minutes and must address the specifics of the agenda item for which they sign up. For details on the specifics of agenda items, click on the Board Docs link found at aacps.org/board. Comments about student-specific items and/or personnel matters are not accepted. Because the Board will be holding hearings specific to any redistricting plans to be developed in the coming months, it will not accept comment on redistricting at this meeting.
Written comments on agenda items can be submitted through an online form that can be at www.aacps.org/boardcomment beginning at 3 p.m. on Wednesday, June 21, 2023. Written comments must be no more than 250 words and must be submitted by noon on Sunday, June 25, 2023. Comments can also be dropped off at the Parham Building, located at 2644 Riva Road in Annapolis, by that time.
Those who require the services of an interpreter to offer comment to the Board or who need other accessibility accommodations for Board of Education meetings should call 410-222-5311 to make those arrangements.
