The Board of Directors of Lake Washington School District welcomes the public to the business meetings of the Board and encourages community engagement. The Board dedicates 30 minutes at these meetings to hear from the public during a public comment period. 

Currently, there are three options to submit public comment:

• In-Person: In-person meetings have been suspended. All LWSD Board Meetings are currently being held remotely. Please see options 2 & 3, to make public comment. 
• Written: Public comments can be submitted by email to djenkins@lwsd.org by 3:00 p.m. on the day of the board meeting. The comments are compiled, distributed to the board, and posted on the district website. Due to time constraints, not all individuals that submit written comment will have their statement read. Public comment will be offered in the order of which it is received, categorized by topic.
• Televised: If requested by email to djenkins@lwsd.org by 1:00 p.m. on the day of the board meeting, a Microsoft TEAMS link will be shared with you to join the board meeting during public comment. You can then share your comments which are recorded and televised. Public comments will be limited to 3 minutes per person. Due to time constraints, not all requests to make televised public comment will be accommodated. Public comment will be offered in the order of which it is received. If invited, please join the Board Meeting online at the start of the meeting. President Laliberte will ask you to provide your comment. You are asked to turn your camera and microphone on and speak for the designated 3-minutes. After your public comment has concluded, it is requested that you leave the Microsoft TEAMS meeting and continue watching the live stream broadcast if interested in viewing the meeting.

You are always welcome to email any individual Board member or the entire Board at any time outside of public comment at (boardmembers@lwsd.org).
