Every two weeks (minus the annual budget and operational meetings) the HCSD hosts two public meetings of the School Board. A 2:00 p.m. Workshop Meeting and a 6:00 p.m. Regular Board Meeting.

Regardless if you have a child enrolled in the District, as a taxpayer you have a right to attend either meeting, and if you feel comfortable enough to do so, you can make a public statement at the Regular 6:00 p.m. Meeting during public comments.

During the Regular 6:00 p.m. Meeting you can speak for a total of 3:00 minutes on any topic (pink sheets) or specific agenda items (green sheets). You can also speak on a pink sheet item and a green sheet item, however you will need to split your time between both (1:30 each).

The only exceptions to this 3:00-minute rule are when a book is challenged or when a budget hearing is held. During a book challenge or a budget hearing, citizens can speak for 3:00 minutes on the budget, 3:00 minutes on a book challenge, and then can speak for another 3:00 minutes during citizen comments (pink or green sheets).

If you wish to speak remember to fill out a pink sheet (any topic) or green sheet (agenda item, book challenges, or budget hearing) and turn in your sheet before they start calling names. There is a cut-off as to when they will accept speakers.

Our Chapter STRONGLY encourages all concerned citizens, especially parents and grandparents who have children enrolled in the HCSD to attend the 6:00 p.m. meeting.

Members and others who wear Moms for Liberty gear should regardless of what the K-12 Cartel (union and their trolls) decide to do, remain respectful joyful warriors!

If you can't make it to a meeting but would like to listen in remotely then you are in luck! The HCSD live streams all of the bi-weekly School Board Meetings. Click here for a link to the livestream -- > https://hernandoschools.legistar.com/Calendar.aspx

(Make sure to select 2024 and then choose the correct Livestream)

We strongly encourage those who attend the bi-weekly HCSD School Board Meeting to refrain from bringing their children. This is not a child-friendly environment.
