Public Comment
Each regular meeting agenda includes an opportunity for public address to the Southern Wake Academy Board. Near the beginning of each meeting, there is a public comment period to hear from the public about matters that are not the subject of a scheduled public hearing. Those wishing to make comments are asked to sign-up before the meeting by emailing hunter.lane@swake.org. No one will be allowed to address the Southern Wake Academy Board after the start of the public comment period if they have not signed up to speak in advance. All requests must be submitted before Noon the day PRIOR to any scheduled Board meeting. Any submission after Noon will be added to next month’s scheduled Board meeting. All public comments will be limited to a max time of 2 minutes.
