The Ridgefield Board of Education has changed the public comment portion of their meeting.  When meetings moved to a virtual or remote format, the Board moved the public comment portion to the end of the meeting.  This gave people time to sign up to comment, but the Board says this also helped them get through the meeting agenda before it was too late at night.  The change, starting next meeting, will feature a two-period public comment session.  Up to 30 minutes, 10 people could comment at the start and then all others who didn't have time to speak will be able to do so at the end of the meeting.
