Public Comment
Martinez USD encourages public participation in district business by way of public comments during meetings. There are two methods of submitting a comment:

Submit a public comment by email – Public comments may also be submitted via email to publiccomments@martinez.k12.ca.us.  Emails will automatically be forwarded to each Board member and will be entered into the official minutes.  Public comments received four (4) hours or less prior to the start of the open session will be included in the minutes, but may not be read by all Board members prior to the meeting.  Emailed comments will not be read aloud during the meeting.  Email attachments will not be accepted with electronically submitted public comments.

Appear in person to address the Board.  Anyone who wishes to address the Board must submit a Speaker Card, available in the Board Room on meeting days.  The Board President will call each speaker to the podium during the appropriate agenda item.  Please note, in compliance with the Brown Act, the Board may not take action or engage in dialogue on items that are not on the posted agenda.

• Items that are not on the agenda of a regular board meeting may be addressed during the Public Comment (Non-Agendized Item) section of a regular board meeting. 
• Items which are on the agenda of a regular board meeting may be addressed when that specific item is introduced by the Board President. 
• Public Comment at special meetings or study session/workshops are limited to items on the agenda only. 

For all Public Comment items, speakers must submit a Speaker's Card.  The Board President will call each speaker to the podium as appropriate. A maximum time limit of three (3) minutes per speaker has been established and will be enforced. 

TRUSTEE AREA REDISTRICTING

Starting with the 2018 election, the District moved from an “at-large” election system to a “by-trustee area” election system to elect members of the Board of Trustees.  Voters now elect District trustees based on the specific area in which the voter lives.  When the District made this switch it adopted a boundary map for these trustee areas that was based on the census data available at that time. 

The United States Census Bureau recently released data from the 2020 Census.  The release of this data triggered the need to examine, and potentially re-draw, the District’s trustee areas based on population changes.  In concert with its demographer, the Board is now working to make adjustments to the current trustee area boundaries to maintain the required population balance.
