X 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 the WHITE cards available on the tables in the Foyer and give them 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.
