Brookfield board seeks to revise public-speaking policy at meetings

BROOKFIELD — School board members are looking to revise board policies which could give residents more access to speaking at meetings and would eliminate many of the board’s subcommittees.

Board President Tim Filipovich led a discussion this week on potential changes that would make it easier for residents to speak at meetings. The current policy does allow residents to speak at the start of the meeting but only if they have notified the school office five days in advance.

He said that having potential speakers sign in right before the meeting would be easier than having speakers send in requests through the school office. “This policy we have right now is just a little too stringent,” Filipovich said.
