Board of Trustees

In-Person Board Meeting Attendance & Public Comment

• Board Meetings are held at the Union School District Office (5175 Union Ave, San Jose, CA 95124)

• Public comment may be provided in person during the meeting. Please fill in a "blue card" and provide to the administrative assistant prior to the start of the meeting. Speakers will be called to the podium during the Community Comment period.

• The public may address the Board on any agenda item and any item not on the agenda. If you would like to address the Board during Community Comments on any agenda item or any item not on the agenda, individual comment time is customarily 3 minutes per speaker.  However, in accordance with the Brown Act (Section 54954.3(b) of the Government Code), the Board may limit the total amount of time allocated for comment on a particular issue, which means speakers may be allocated 1-2 minutes if the number of comments is large. To ensure that all speakers are provided an equal opportunity to address the Board during Community Comments, individual speakers may not “yield” their allotted time to address the Board to other speakers. The Board of Trustees may choose to reserve their responses for discussion and action when the agenda item appears during the course of the meeting. It should be noted that the Board discourages complaints against individual officers or employees of the District during open session.

• As always, if you would like to send a message to the Board, you can contact all Board Members by emailing board@unionsd.org.
