Public Participation at Board Meetings

Citizen interest in Davenport Community School Board proceedings is appreciated and valued. Citizens are welcome to address the board during open forum and pre-arranged presentations.

• Open Forum – Complete an open forum request form found at the back of the meeting room and submit to the board secretary, seated next to the board table, before the meeting begins. The Board President will call you to the podium where you will need to clearly state your name and address. Citizens have two minutes to speak and you will be timed.  The Board cannot respond to comments made in Open Forum due to Open Meetings Laws.
