Directors London and Senn, I appreciate your leadership in suggesting changes that I believe will increase civic engagement (much needed not just in Oakland but nationally). Having a regular time for labor makes sense as they are key partners, having each speaker comment on all items at once will enable you to hear more diverse voices, and moving public comments earlier will allow more families and students (who are most affected by school board decisions) to voice their opinions.
