The Superintendent shall prepare and submit to each Board member a written agenda prior to each regular meeting and each special meeting, unless otherwise directed by the Board. The agenda shall list the various matters to come before the Board and shall serve as a guide for the order of procedure for the meeting. Individual Board members may include items on the agenda by asking the Superintendent to place them on the agenda. Any citizen wishing to include an item on the agenda of a regular meeting may request approval from the Superintendent. The written request shall clearly state the nature of the subject to be discussed and an estimate of the maximum time to be allotted. The Superintendent shall consider all such requests and give a determination within a reasonable amount of time.
The agenda of the regular monthly meeting shall be accompanied by a report from the Superintendent. The report shall contain pertinent information related to the subjects on the agenda together with such recommendations as he/she shall make.
The agenda for each regular meeting shall be mailed or delivered to each Board member so as to provide proper time for the member to study the agenda. Generally, the agenda shall be mailed no later than four (4) days prior to the meeting, or delivered so as to provide time for the study of the agenda by the member. The agenda for a special meeting shall be delivered at least twenty-four (24) hours before the meeting, consistent with provisions calling for special meetings.
Information pertaining to Board meetings available to the public through the Freedom of Information Act shall be made available to the public through the Superintendent's office.
The Board shall transact business according to the agenda prepared by the Superintendent and submitted to all Board members in advance of the meeting. The order of business may be suspended at any meeting upon the recommendation of the Superintendent with Board concurrence or by a majority vote of the Board.
