SCHOOL BOARD MEETINGS
Regular Meetings
Regularly scheduled meetings may be of two kinds: business or educational. The latter type may be held for the purpose of reviewing and evaluating the school program or the development and discussion of policy. The Board may cancel regular meetings if there is not adequate material for a full agenda. The Board of Directors shall meet twice each month on days designated by the Board of Directors. All meetings shall be open to the public and the public is encouraged to attend.
Special Meetings
Such a meeting may be called by the chair of the board, or by a majority of the board members in the event that the chair fails to act, or by the secretary. No business shall be transacted except that for which the meeting is called.
Executive Sessions
Executive sessions of the board shall be called in accordance with State law and at such time and place as required for discussion of matters as permitted by statute. No action may be taken on topics discussed in executive session; all actions of the board are required by law to be taken in a public meeting.
