Easton School Board Extends Public Comment

Got something to say to the Easton Area School Board?

Starting this month, you'll have more time to say it.

The board voted Tuesday to extend the amount of time a member of the public can speak during the meeting's public comment section from three minutes to five minutes.

Board member Frank Pintabone -- who partially on the idea of adding to the public comment period -- told the Express-Times he thinks extending the comment period will expose the board to new ideas and "start to put a little more trust in this new board."

, a majority of our readers said the board should extend the comment period.
