How To Make A Public Comment

Every regular township council and Board of Education meeting includes a public-comment period — show up, sign in if asked, and you can speak. Check the meeting calendar for the next meeting date, agenda, and location.

Written comment works too: email the clerk (township matters) or the board office (school matters) using the addresses above and ask that your comment be shared with the members before the meeting.

Contact information comes from the official township, school district, and library websites. Roles change after elections and reorganization meetings — verify with the clerk's office before relying on a listing.
