The public is welcome and encouraged to attend the school board meetings. If unable to attend the meetings, citizens are welcome to read about the board action in the summaries provided on the district’s website under the Meetings/Agenda tab. Minutes are not available or official until approved at the following regular meeting of the Board.

During a meeting, there are legally specified circumstances that call for an adjournment to closed session for discussion and consideration. These circumstances include personnel matters, land acquisitions or sales, legal consultation, and student or employee hearings. The Board cannot take any action in closed session.

Audience participation at a Board Meeting is limited to the public comment portion of the meeting designated for that purpose. At regular Board Meetings, the Board shall permit public comment, regardless of whether the topic is an item on the agenda posted with notice of the meeting. Individuals who wish to participate during the portion of the meeting designated for public comment shall fill out a public comment card which is made available at the entrance of the Board Room (located within the Hutto ISD Administration Building at 200 College Street) by 7 p.m.

Public comment begins immediately following the executive session. An individual's comments to the Board shall not exceed five minutes per meeting. Citizens will not be permitted to name or in any way identify (including titles) specific employees when discussing complaints. Citizens who wish to file a complaint about specific employees will be directed to the district’s grievance policy.

At all other times during a Board Meeting, the audience shall not enter into discussion or debate on matters being considered by the Board, unless requested by the presiding officer

Board members will not respond to or enter into discussion with the speaker since items on the agenda will be discussed at the appointed time, and items not on the agenda are not allowed in discussion.

Board members may respond to speakers by providing clarifying factual information that does not involve board discussion, or by directing the citizen to a designated staff member for assistance.

The Board shall not tolerate disruption of the meeting by members of the audience. If, after at least one warning from the presiding officer, any person continues to disrupt the meeting by his or her words or actions, the presiding officer may request assistance from law enforcement officials to have the person removed from the meeting.

If anyone needs a Sign Language Interpreter at any public function for Hutto ISD, please provide written notice to Hutto ISD at least two weeks prior to the event.
