Speaking with the Board
The Parma Board of Education encourages and welcomes communication with the community. Anyone who would like to speak on an item should fill out a "Request to be Heard" form available from the Board secretary prior to the beginning of the meeting. Public participation under the agenda item "Meeting Open to the Public" is welcome and any concern dealing with education in the Parma City School District may be discussed at this time. Up to three minutes will be allocated to present your concern verbally and/or to offer more lengthy written reports or letters to the Board for their consideration and later reply.
The Board and administration will attempt to answer questions when they are presented. In some cases more information is needed to satisfy all parties, and so, the question may be referred to the Superintendent of Schools for further investigation or study.
Criticism and/or complaints against an employee of the school district will be heard only at a private session of the Board when requested by the resident, and only if the resident has previously attempted to resolve the problem with the building principal and/or appropriate administrator. Every effort should be made by the resident to discuss the matter of complaint with the proper administrator and the Superintendent of Schools before bringing the complaint to the Board of Education in a public meeting.
