XV. Public Comment Segment - Public Expression Will Be Accepted Via Email Only and Limited to 30 Minutes. The board will only review and respond to information and feedback about matters listed on the board's agenda. Please note that public expression is not a question-and-answer session. Given that KBE meetings are occurring virtually as a result of COVID-19, the KBE will accept written public comments that will be announced during the KBE meeting and distributed to all KBE members for review. Anyone wanting to submit public expression must email kbe@education.ky.gov prior to the close of business on April 5, 2021. Individuals must provide their name and an email address where they can receive a response. The order of public expression will be based on the time stamp on the email received. The public comment period will be limited to no more than 30 minutes. If there are multiple members of an organization wishing to provide public expression, we encourage the membership of that group to select one person to comment. Public criticism of individual staff members or individual board members is prohibited. Since no individual board member may act on behalf of the board, concerns about action of the board should be directed to the board as a whole.
