Anyone can come down to have their say at a BOE meeting. They may not agree or respond with any action but they listen and consider. Letters can be written and sent in via the superintendent's office.
You can either let walls stop you (no email addresses) or find ways around them (go to a BOE meeting, send a letter).

But Will They Respond?

Yes, but will any of the board members actually read the emails and respond to them? I hope someone keeps us posted on that. So far I have had no success getting a response.

What, No Email Address for the Board?

I feel like the Board is in some sort of Ivory Tower with the peasants (residents of Plainview) outside the locked gate. I have emailed the Board members asking them how we are supposed to communicate with them when even getting an email address is very difficult and not posted on the Plainview Old Bethpage School District website. I have never received a response. They don't even answer email.
Ed's note: Interesting, on the POB District website there is a ticker tape saying, "Look what POB is doing with technology." I guess we know now.

If the BOE wants to truly make a difference in the best interests of all parties then they should permanently change the public participation to be after "new business" Time to step up to the plate BOE

Board Makes Public Questioning More Difficult

Hopefully at the next BOE budget meeting, which is this Monday at 7:15 PM, the BOE will allow for public discussion of budget matters by discussing them prior to public participation.
Unfortunately at this past meeting the budget items (elementary and middle school budgets) were discussed under "new business" which comes after public participation.
This did not allow for any questions that evening regarding the budget pieces presented unless you asked the questions prior to the presentation of the information. That's awkward and it's also awkward to have to come to an additional budget meeting to ask questions on something presented the week before.
This came up last year and the BOE changed the agenda to provide ample opportunity for public participation. Let's hope that this gets changed for the upcoming meetings.
