	Board Policy 00-001
	Public Participation in Board Meetings


Texas Civil Statutes, Art. 4512d, §3(d) requires the board to 
“develop and implement policies that provide the public with a 
reasonable opportunity to appear before the board and to speak 
on any issue under the jurisdiction of the board.”

The agenda for each board meeting shall include an item 
entitled “Public comment.”  An individual who wishes to speak 
on an issue that falls under the board’s jurisdiction must 
provide the Executive Secretary, the Chair, or board 
administrative staff with his or her name, address, and the 
name of the organization he or she represents, if applicable, 
at the start of the meeting. 

At the beginning of each meeting, the Chair shall establish 
and announce any limitations on speakers, including time 
limits and when speakers will be allowed to speak.  The 
limitations, if any, may vary from meeting to meeting.
