Addendum added on January 3, 2023:
The members of the Caroline County Board of Education desire to hear the views and have the advice of interested citizens. The public comment session is held at each Board meeting for that purpose.
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.' Emails will be provided to Board members prior to the start of the meeting and attached to the agenda. Written comments will not be read aloud during the meeting.
These policies are scheduled for review during the 2022-2023 school year. Upon review by the Instructional Division, it was found that these policies still represent current practice within the school system.
Policy I.12.30 is offered as written, given that the policy statement is an acknowledgement of our obligation to follow applicable copyright law.
Policy II.23.10 is offered with one modification that removes a grading specification for homework that is redundant with our Reporting Pupil Progress Policy.
