Several parents spoke out against a plan to place restrictions on public comment time during Prince William County School Board meetings.
Under the proposed changes, the School Board would give 15 residents two minutes each, for 30 minutes, to speak about items on the meeting agenda. For the next half hour, another 15 speakers would have two minutes each to talk about items relating to the general operation of the school division.
Those who couldn't sign up to speak via an online form -- also a new requirement under the proposed changes -- could choose to submit their comments to the School Board via online video or email. Speakers have three minutes each to address the School Board under the current policy.
