Preface
This is the first of three scheduled meetings on the Proposed Merger of Jenner and Ogden schools. More information here, including the “Jenner/Ogden Community Steering
Setup
The meeting is held in the 2nd floor gymnasium of the school. Chairs are arranged in two sections on the court, facing a stage, with an aisle down the center and on either side. There is a table with four chairs, on the floor, in front of the stage. There is a microphone of the right-hand side of the stage, at the end of the aisle and in front of a set of bleachers.
Attendees are encouraged to sign in at a table in the back of the gym, as they enter. When signing up to speak, each person is given a numbered card, which allows them to know the number of speakers. The cards are not indicative of speaking order. Speakers are encouraged to line up on the right side of the auditorium.
Speakers are limited to two minutes. A person is stationed in line of sight of the speaker, and they hold up time cards to let them know how much time remains, in 30 second increments. If there is time, people can speak again. If one does not want to speak, there are comment cards, some of which will be summarized by a CPS staff person. There is also an email address for comments: transitions@cps.edu
