Persons in attendance may ask questions and comment after the School Committee has had an opportunity to discuss the agenda items and provided that the Chair has  recognized them. The intent of Roberts' Rules of Order governs the proceedings of the meetings. When you are recognized, please state your name. It is not appropriate or permissible for the Committee to allow personal comments against any individual.
