Your School Board's Eye on Legislation
Board of Trustees Now Using 'BoardDocs'
The Greenville Schools Board of Trustees is using BoardDocs, a web based delivery of Board documents. With BoardDocs we not only have the ability to process agenda items, supporting documents, policies and procedures, but also determine who has access to each document - such as board members and staff, or the general public.
BoardDocs has been developed for school boards, local governments, private and public boards to help alleviate the enormous task of assembling, printing, distributing and revising agenda items and policies.
Paperless Board Saves Time, Money
School Board meeting agendas, attachments, and minutes can be accessed from the Greenville County Schools website. Paper copies will no longer be provided. The move to a web-based system has saved money by alleviating the enormous task of assembling, printing, distributing and revising agenda items and policies. In addition, the media and the public have easier access and are able to "search" for minutes and other information.

Citizen Participation
Prior to beginning the conduct of any business on its agenda for regularly scheduled monthly meetings, up to one hour will be set aside during which persons may speak to the Board
Persons wishing to speak must register in person prior to the board meeting. Registration will be from 6:15 p.m. to 6:50 p.m. on the night of the board meeting. Each person shall register with his name, address, and topic to present. The chairman will recognize those registered in the order in which they registered. The administration will provide for an expeditious and orderly registration procedure.
Persons who want to appear before the Committee of the Whole will have an opportunity to register to do so on the day of the meeting between 8:30 and 8:50. The allocated time for all speakers will exceed one hour. A person who has spoken at one meeting and requests to speak on the same topic again at a later meeting will be placed at the bottom of the list of speakers.
