No requests to speak to the Board will be granted after the meeting begins unless agreed to by a majority of the Board.

Topics not on the agenda, which are brought to the Board’s attention, may be investigated by the Administration and a report made to the Board members, either publicly or privately, at a future meeting. Complaints against Helix employees should be dealt with in Closed Session, not in Public.
