Address the Board in person

The signup form will be available the Friday before each monthly School Board meeting and speakers must sign up by 4:30 p.m. on the day before the monthly meeting.

There will be a public forum during the monthly meeting for interested citizens to address the Board in person on any matter of concern about the school division. Citizens are required to sign up in advance using an online form (https://henricoschools.community.diligentoneplatform.com/home/public/requesttospeak/0) or by calling the clerk by 4:30 p.m. the day before the monthly meeting. Speakers who sign up in advance may not transfer their speaking spot to another individual. To ensure that the School Board has an opportunity to hear from as many constituents as possible, it is requested that only one member of each household reserve a spot to speak. Individuals providing public comment on behalf of a group may speak and then provide the Board with hard copies of written comments from each member of their group. Each speaker will be limited to three minutes.
