VII HEARING SESSION - SUGGESTIONS AND COMMENTS FROM VISITORS

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC: Persons wishing to speak to the Board of Education regarding
any item are requested to fill out WHITE cards available on the tables in the Foyer and give
to the Clerk of the Board.

At this time the President will review the agenda items and ask for comments from visitors.
Comments on items other than those on the agenda are also welcomed. This is a time for the
Board of Education to hear comments from the public. They are restricted from responding
directly to the comments, but speakers are assured that their comments are very important
and will be addressed in a different forum. This is not meant to be a debating period.
Complaints and problems relating to policy matters will be referred to the Superintendent.
Further comments may be recognized by the Chairman during the meeting.

Persons who have complaints against board members or staff are encouraged to seek
resolution of those complaints by utilization of the Fontana Unified School District written
complaint procedure rather than orally addressing them at a meeting. Speakers are cautioned
that under California law no person is immune from liability for making intentionally false or
defamatory comments regarding any person simply because those comments are made at a
public meeting.

The Board of Education receives its agenda and other pertinent information on the Thursday
prior to the meeting. The Board, therefore, has had an opportunity to review all this
material over the weekend prior to taking action.

It would be helpful if the speaker would provide their name, city of residence and whether or
not they have any children in the Fontana Unified School District.
