Public Comment

The public comment process allows members of the public to provide testimony on items before the Board, or to raise issues to the attention of the Board and Agency Director. It allows the Board an opportunity to actively listen to and reflect on public feedback, and the Board may ask staff to respond to public comments or questions raised during the public comment period after the meeting. It does not allow an opportunity for dialogue between the speaker, Board, or Director during the meeting, nor does it replace existing complaints processes.

Members of the public are encouraged to submit written comments or testimony in advance to StateBoard.PublicEmail@ode.oregon.gov, or by mail to the State Board of Education, 255 Capitol Street NE, Salem, OR 97310. Please note that submitting comment prior to the meeting allows the Board more time to review and consider.

Clearly label the subject line as: “Public comment:” followed by the agenda item referred to. Agenda items can be found on Boardbook.
All written public comment will be posted to Boardbook.
In order to avoid opening up the public comment period, the Board will not entertain testimony on a proposed rule after the public comment period has closed on the agenda.
Public comments or testimony submitted the morning of the Board meeting will be posted to Boardbook within 48 business hours.

Members of the public may also provide virtual public comment using the Public Comment Registration Form. This form closes the night before the Board meeting.

The Board encourages all speakers providing comments on an agenda item to review materials posted to BoardBook in advance of the meeting.
Each person providing public comment will have a total of three minutes.
The Board will try to hear as many as possible within the public comment period on the agenda.
Individuals unable to provide comment during the meeting will be invited to submit written comments afterwards.

The Board sincerely appreciates your input and thanks you for your participation.
