For your convenience, we have outlined below Paideia Academy’s protocol for public comment and participation during our board meetings.

We welcome the public to all of our meetings.

1. Paideia Academy adheres to all of the requirements of the Open Meeting Act.

   • “The purpose and clearly stated intent of the Open and Public Meetings Act is to ensure that actions of the state are conducted openly and that the people’s business is done in full view of the public.”

   • The intent is that you can watch the public charter school board conducting its business, not that you weigh in at every juncture.

2. Seating.

   1. Corporate Board members, Paideia Academy senior staff, and the Executive Director are invited to sit at the board table

   2. A public seating area is provided for parents, teachers, and other guests. During virtual meetings, all participants may view via Paideia Youtube Channel Live.

3. Public Comments.  This is the time for the public to comment.

Public comment may be limited to 3 minutes. It is at the discretion of the Board Chair to specify a shorter period of time.  To speak at a board meeting, compete this form PUBLIC COMMENT FORM or email the Executive Director, Dr. Winsor bwinsor@paideiamail.com  at least 48 hours prior to the scheduled board meeting.  

Members of the Corporate Board may not discuss items that are not specifically identified on the agenda. Therefore, pursuant to A.R.S. § 38-431.01(H), action taken as a result of public comment will be limited to directing staff to study the matter, responding to any criticism, or scheduling the matter for further consideration and decision at a later date.
