TLDR my prior comment: I have been told by another leader for another school district that there are bylaws about the amount of time that boards of education must respond to requests in writing. Some school districts have been successfully sued for not following their own rules over this issue.

There are legal differences in how a board of education must respond to the public as far as comments at a meeting and comments in writing. I like DWS, so not trying to throw her under the bus here, but she's uninformed of the bylaws or the law in this regard. Constituents are better served by putting concerns in writing and keeping those receipts, or lack thereof.
