In-Person Public Comment - The time allotted for the Public Comment portion of the agenda is no more than 30 minutes total. The Board of Education does not engage in a discussion of the matter being brought to it but will, if appropriate, direct the Superintendent to respond at a later time.
Individuals interested in participating during the Public Comment portion may sign up in advance by emailing publiccomment@ccpsstaff.org or by signing in at the podium prior to the beginning of the meeting. Individuals will be called to the podium in the order in which they registered by email or sign-in.
Individuals will be advised that:
Written Public Comment emailed to publiccomment@ccpsstaff.org – Emails must be received no later than noon one day prior to the Board meeting, and must clearly state in the subject line or body of the email 'For Public Comment.'

On April 9, 2022, Governor Hogan signed HB1255 into law, which changes the definitions for physical restraint and seclusion, changing the circumstances for which physical restraint may be used as a student behavior intervention, and prohibiting a public agency from using seclusion as a student behavior intervention.
To that end, Policy III.31.50 required the following revisions:
The policy was introduced for First Reading on August 2, 2022, and after discussion the Board of Education requested that this policy be scheduled for a Second Reading and further discussion. Since that time, all references to seclusion in the regulation have been removed.
