We have a visitor's sign in sheet at the meeting if they would like to speak. We go into closed session at the beginning of the meeting, and usually exit closed session around 7:00. I would advise arriving no earlier than 6:45. You can skip out any time, but our agenda has 3 action items and the entire meeting should last about 15-20 minutes after we go back into open session (I guess depending on how long the Republican candidate for ROE #11 Regional Superintendent speaks).
