Scheduled meetings

The Board President and the Chief Executive Officer have determined that registered speakers who wish to present during Public Participation may have the option to participate in person at the location of the Board meeting or virtually via an electronic platform. The public will have access to the meeting via live stream at cpsboe.org.

For Agenda Review Committee meetings, advance speaker registration will be open the Monday preceding the Agenda Review Committee meeting at 10:30 AM and close Tuesday at 10:30 AM. Anyone interested in speaking can sign up. After the 24 hour registration period, a lottery will randomly select a set number of speakers from those who registered. For example, if 100 people register, the lottery might select 30 of them to speak. This process gives everyone a fair chance to address the Board. Advance observer registration will open the Monday preceding the Agenda Review Committee meeting at 10:30 AM and close Tuesday at 5:00 PM, or until all observer slots are filled unless otherwise noted. Advance registration during this period is available by the following methods::

• Online: www.cpsboe.org (recommended)
• Phone: (773) 553-1600

To ensure equity of access to address the Board, an individual may not speak at back-to-back meetings and more than one meeting per month.  If you register for back-to-back meetings and more than one meeting per month, you will not be included for that meeting lottery. In the event an individual registers to speak at a consecutive meeting, the individual will not be called to address the Board.

The Public Participation segment of the meeting will begin following the Opening Statement for Agenda Review Committee Meetings or CEO Remarks for Board Meetings and proceed for no more than 30 registered speakers for 60 minutes. Registered speakers will receive instructions for accessing the in person or electronic platform for Public Participation.

Members of the public may submit written comments for Board of Education meetings via the Written Comments Form on the Board’s website at www.cpsboe.org or mailed to 1 N Dearborn, Suite 950. Written comments received between the day the public agenda is posted through 5 p.m. the day after the Board of Education meeting will be submitted to the Board and posted within five (5) business days on our website at www.cpsboe.org.
