The board values public input. The responsibility of the board is to actively listen and reflect on the public comments. The board may only discuss and act upon items included on the written agenda. For that reason, board members cannot respond to any comments or questions during public comment but can ask the Superintendent to follow up on issues raised during public testimony.
Guidelines for public input emphasize the respect and consideration of others. Boisterous conduct will not be permitted at any meeting of the Board of Directors, nor will any harassing or threatening remarks be tolerated. Complaints about individual employees should be directed to the Superintendent’s office as a personnel matter.
Each person providing a public comment will have a total of 3 minutes. Once called upon please step up to the podium, face the board, and state your name for the record. The bell will ring at 3 minutes to remind you that your time is up.

Roaring News is Liberty’s daily news broadcast that shares information with the students and staff of Liberty. The group makes sure students know about adjustments to schedules, lunches, activity updates, and community-building activities, and this is one way we are recognizing our cultural/recognition months (currently Hispanic Heritage Month). This group has previously requested funds to pay for microphones and cameras, as well as other tech needs that have arisen. The formation of Roaring News as an official club brings credibility to the program. It provides the group with a budget that can be used to upgrade and improve the news broadcasts without needing to go through the process of having each item approved. Once they have their budget, they are allowed to use that budget as they have identified in their budget line items.
