It's a good time to pray for terrorist victims!
Since the Board of Education will no longer be providing video-taping for cablecast (effective July, 2002), suspended delivery of the "Molalla River Reporter" and stopped communication with the "Educational Ambassadors" (September, 2002) I have tried to provide information regarding education concerns for interested persons:

PUBLIC PARTICIPATION IN BUDGET COMMITTEE MEETINGS

  1. Anyone wishing to speak before the Budget Committee, either as an individual
    or as a member of a group, may do so by providing information to the board
    secretary on a sign-in sheet prior to the meeting. This will help the chair
    provide adequate time for each speaker.
  2. A visitor may be recognized by the chair by rising, identifying
    himself/herself with his/her full name and address, and stating his/her
    purpose for appearing.
  3. A group of visitors with a common purpose should designate a
    spokesperson to speak for the group.
  4. Statements by members of the public should be concise and will be
    limited to 5 minutes.
  5. Speakers may offer objective criticism of school operations and programs but
    the Budget Committee will not hear complaints concerning specific school
    personnel. The chair will direct the visitor to the appropriate means for Budget
    Committee consideration and disposition of legitimate complaints involving
    individuals.
