Board Agenda and Meeting Preparation

The draft agenda will be developed jointly by the superintendent and Board Chair and approved by the Chair.    A draft annual agenda (month by month) will be developed to assist with advance preparation for meetings. Agenda items for consideration are to be provided to the Board Chair no later than 3 calendar days before regular meetings and 3 days before special meetings. The Board Chair may postpone the addition of a requested item until the following regular or special meeting if additional information or research is needed, and or if the item would excessively lengthen the meeting. Agenda items requiring board action will be added after the deadline for submission only if there is a substantial need related to the ability of the district to operate effectively. Agenda additions must follow the guidelines of the Texas Open Meetings Act (Policy BE Local).   

The superintendent will deliver board packets to board members no later than 3 days before regular meetings, and 3 days before special meetings.

Board members will take time as needed to review the agenda information and will submit questions on items to the superintendent or Board Chair in advance of the meeting to the extent possible.
