No action or discussion shall be undertaken on any item not appearing on the posted agenda, except the Board of Education or district staff may briefly respond to statements or questions posed by persons exercising their public testimony rights under Government Code Section 54954.3. Speakers must limit remarks to three minutes (generally, statements of 390 words may be spoken aloud within three minutes). The Board shall limit the total time for public input on each topic to 20 minutes. With Board consent, the President may increase or decrease the time allowed for public presentation depending on the subject and the number of persons wishing to be heard.
