School board to vote on comment policy
The Anderson County Board of Education will meet at 6 p.m. Thursday (Jan. 9), during which it plans to vote on its policy on citizen comments, among other measures.
The meeting will take place on the top floor of the Robert Jolley Building at 101 Main St.
In the existing policy, applying to this meeting as others before it, citizens can sign up to speak regarding items that are on the agenda.
The proposed policy, however, would add a second comment period at the end of each meeting, during which citizens may speak on items that aren’t on the agenda, although they must sign up three business days in advance. It will need to pass on two readings to go into effect.
Also, at the same meeting, the Board of Education will vote on a resolution opposing a state school voucher plan.
The board also will vote on funds for employee childcare, and locks for doors at Clinton and Anderson County high schools.
The agenda is online at acs.ac.
