Public Comment Guidance on ‘Inflammatory’ Speech
📅 October 20, 2026
The agenda’s description for ‘Hearing of Citizens’ advises the Board to request that ‘inflammatory comments regarding an employee’ be moved to Closed Session. This guidance could be used to chill protected speech critical of public employees under the guise of privacy.
Intake Action

CALENDAR: The public comment guidance in item 4 could be used to restrict speech critical of staff. No action is required unless the Board applies this to silence a speaker on the basis of viewpoint. Preserve the agenda as a record of the stated practice.
