NC: Common Core committee meeting: No public comment allowed

Here is the official announcement of the next Common Core study committee meeting.  I regret to inform you that there will be no public comment allowed.  It has been my opinion from the beginning that public comment should have been allowed at every meeting of this committee, but I don’t get to make those decisions. 

We have been told that public comment will be allowed at the third meeting of the committee.  However, that meeting will not occur until after the short session this summer. 

Although no public comment will be allowed on February 20^th, it is still a good thing to have as many concerned citizens present as possible.  We will continue to keep you informed as things develop.
