Facts About Board of
Education Meetings
All Board meetings
shall begin at the stated time or as soon thereafter as a quorum (4 out
of the 7 Board members) is present and will be guided by a written
agenda. The agenda for each Board meeting is prepared by the
Superintendent of Schools. No matter of business will be conducted,
unless included in the agenda, without the consent of two thirds of the
Board members present.
An individual or group may address the Board of Education concerning an
item on the agenda during the time provided under Part VI of the
agenda: Public Forum. In order to address the Board during the Public
Forum, individual(s) should state their name and address. A
three-minute time limit may be allowed to each speaker with a maximum
of 20 minutes per meeting being allocated for any one item of the
agenda. The Chairperson may curtail public discussion at anytime, based
on his/her discretion. No actions which disrupt the orderly conduct of
the Board meeting will be permitted, and a participant in such conduct
will be asked to leave the meeting. By a majority vote, the Board may
decide to cancel or extend the 20 minutes allotted for discussion per
item on the agenda.
Questions brought up by an individual or a group during the Public
Forum may be answered during the meeting at the option of the Board.
Other inquiries that may require analysis or investigation, will be
answered at a future specified date, at the option of the Board.
No speaker making an oral presentation shall include charges or
complaints of a personal nature against any individual Board member or
individual employee of the Board of Education, whether named or no.
Rather, all such charges or complaints should be sent to the
Chairperson of the Board.
