Message regarding Citizens' Input

IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM HERNANDO SCHOOL BOARD –

We begin with an apology. During last evening’s meeting of the School Board, we were made aware that comments submitted for the August 11th meeting through the “Citizen’s Input” form were not received.

First thing this morning, we conducted a thorough inspection of the procedures that were put in place to receive public comments while we were closed due to the pandemic. We discovered there was an error in the connection between the Citizens Input form and the email address. Those forms for the August 11th meeting were not received by district staff.

That connection has been restored and we have added additional verification to ensure successful delivery. When submitting a Citizen’s Input form, you will receive an automatic “pop up” confirmation message followed by an email confirmation sent to the address included on the form. If you do not receive both confirmations, please send an email to  publiccomment@hcsb.k12.fl.us.

Please note, the School Board approved a return to normal operations starting with the August 25th board meeting. Individuals wishing to be heard by the Board are welcome to attend. The Citizens’ Input submission form will be deactivated after August 25th.  

The Hernando School Board values the comments, suggestions and feedback from our students, staff, parents and community. Your concerns are important to the work and decision-making of the Board. We offer our apologies for this error and we encourage you to resubmit comments. The Citizens’ Input form has been reactivated and the window for comment is open and extended through August 20th.  Your comments will be shared with each member of the school board and addressed at the August 25th School Board meeting.

Thank you.
