An orderly board meeting allows the Board members to participate in the discussion and decision about an issue confronting the school district. Rules of order for board meetings allow school district business and the relative information concerning the business to be brought to the attention of the Board. They also allow the Board to discuss, act upon and make a clear record of school district business in a regular, ordered, reasonable and consistent manner.
It shall be the responsibility of each Board member to follow the rules of order stated in this policy at each meeting, and it shall be the responsibility of the presiding officer to conduct the board meeting within these rules.
The Board shall follow Robert’s Rules of Order except as modified by the Board.
