MEETING CONDUCT, ORDER OF BUSINESS, AND QUORUM
POLICY:
Individuals with disabilities who may need a modification to participate in a meeting should contact the Superintendent's Office no later than three days before a regular meeting and as soon as possible in advance of a special meeting so that special arrangements can be made.
During the interim between meetings, the Office of the Superintendent, as Board Secretary, shall be the Office of the Board. The District's public records shall be open for inspection in the manner provided by and subject to the limitation of the law.
Quorum
Three board members shall be considered as constituting a quorum for the transaction of business.
Meeting Conduct and Order of Business
All board meetings will be conducted in an orderly and business-like manner using Robert's Rules of Order (revised) as a guide, except when such rules are superseded by board bylaws or policies. The Order of Business will be indicated in the agenda. Any additions or changes in the prepared agenda may be requested by the Superintendent or a board member and must be approved by the Board President.
The Board shall establish its regular Order of Business but may elect to change the order by consensus or a majority vote of the members.
All votes on motions and resolutions shall be by "voice" vote unless a member of the Board requests an oral roll call vote. No action shall be taken by secret ballot at any meeting required to be open to the public.
An oral roll call vote of all the members of the Board is required for the election of board officers, filing a vacancy on the Board, or for the selection of the District Superintendent, and a majority vote of all the members of the Board is required for any person to be elected or selected for such positions.
