Zoom Public Comment Instructions

Please follow the directions below to speak during the BOE meeting's Public Comment time. The meeting host will announce when the meeting is accepting public comments.

• Use the “raise hand” function as follows:

Virtually: press “raise hand” button at the bottom of the Zoom meeting screen

By Phone: press *9 on your key pad to “raise hand”

• The meeting host will announce speakers by name or phone number when it is their time to speak. At that time, the speaker’s microphone will be enabled for comment by the meeting host. When it is your turn to speak, please mute all other devices that may create background noise to ensure you are heard clearly.

• Begin by stating your full name and address when you are prompted for comment.

• Please indicate when your public comment is complete so the meeting host may then announce the next speaker. The meeting host will then mute your microphone. Please also be sure to "unraise" your hand at that time.

Public comment is restricted to no more than three minutes and a person may speak only once.
