Individuals who need the use of a sign language interpreter, or who require other special accommodations, should contact the Board Office at (785) 296-3203 at least seven business days prior to a Kansas State Board of Education meeting.

Citizens’ Open Forum:  

According to Board Policy:

The Citizens’ Open Forum is an opportunity for the general public to provide input on educational issues in the state of Kansas which are germane to the business of the board. Addressing the Board is a privilege and not a right. The Citizens’ Open Forum may be held shortly after the meeting is called to order on the first day of each two-day meeting of the State Board of Education. Procedures for the Citizens’ Open Forum are as follows:

  1. Each speaker shall be allowed to speak for three minutes.
  2. State Board of Education members may ask clarifying questions of the person making the presentation. The speaker will have up to one minute to respond. The presiding officer may grant additional time at his/her discretion.
  3. By consent of the Board, the agenda time may be extended. While offering a limited public forum is important to the Board, it is also necessary to ensure that the Board allows enough time to conduct its regular business.
  4. Information may be submitted to the Board in written form. Thirteen (13) copies should be provided.
  5. At the discretion of the chair and with regards to the timeliness of the agenda, the Citizens’ Open Forum may be closed and reopened at a later time or date to be announced.
  6. Any person wishing to speak shall sign in prior to the commencement of the Citizens’ Open Forum and shall complete a presenter's card, giving his or her name and address, the subject of the comments (which must be confined to topics which are germane to the business of the board), and the name of any group he or she is representing. Speakers shall be recognized according to the order in which they signed in.
  7. Presentations containing information or comments related to KSDE personnel may be referred for review in executive session.
  8. Following the Citizens’ Open Forum, the Chair will acknowledge the participants and announce that the State Board will determine if any of the issues will be addressed at a future meeting. 

Minutes

The meeting minutes of the State Board of Education are posted on the website after the Board has approved them the following month.
