Speaker Forum

Starting in September 2025, we are launching a monthly Public Speaker Forum. This is a dedicated time for you to share comments on topics listed on recent Board meeting agendas, including committee meetings, monthly work sessions, business meetings, and other public Board meeting agendas held since the last forum.

When and Where:
Unless otherwise announced, forums will take place at 5:30 p.m. on the third Tuesday of each month. The first forum will be on Tuesday, September 16, 2025. 

How to Participate:
To speak or submit a written comment, you must register by 12:00 noon on the day of the forum in one of these ways:

When registering, you must include:

  • Your full name, phone number, email address, and home address
  • Your affiliation (student, parent/guardian, staff member, or Rochester resident)
  • The topic you will address (must be related to an item on a recent Board agenda since the last forum)

Important to Know:

  • Only registered speakers will be able to address the Board.
  • Public comments will no longer be taken during Board meetings, except at scheduled public hearings or these monthly forums.
