Sadly our EPISD board of managers has again taken action to limit public input at board meetings.
At their February 17, 2015 meeting they approved changes to their policy that now require a person who wishes to use the district’s electronic signup mechanism to complete their request 12 hours before the start of a meeting. The previous policy set the deadline at 45 minutes.
Those of you that wish to signup in person before the meeting must now do so 30 minutes before the start of the meeting. Previous policy set the deadline at 15 minutes. In other words you must be at the meeting at least 30 minutes before the scheduled start, after all you need to prove your commitment to providing input.
We deserve better

Yet the vast vast majority of people that complain never ever attend a meeting.

Some of that is apathy, but some people are also afraid to speak up out of fear that it will negatively affect their business or put their job at risk.
