Rationale:  It is ______PM and I now call to order the Crete Public Schools Board of Education Meeting.  This is the April 2022 regular meeting.  Notice of this meeting has been advertised in the Crete Newspaper, which is one of the District's designated methods of giving notice of these meetings.

We want those in attendance to know that copies of the Open Meetings Act are available at the podium in the Board Room.  If anyone in attendance is interested in addressing our Board, you are welcome to do so.  We simply request that you complete the appropriate form and turn it in to us now so that you may be recognized during the Public Forum part of our meeting. 

Ms. Banos will you please call the roll.

Rationale:  This brings us to the Public Forum part of our meeting. During the Public Forum:

1. Each individual addressing the Board will be allowed 5 minutes. The Board of Education has the prerogative to limit speaking to 3 minutes when there are three or more patrons to allow all speakers an opportunity to address the Board in a timely manner.
2. We will not engage in dialogue with patrons presenting to the Board.
3. The Board president and superintendent will identify staff to follow-up on the information requested from patrons.
