Board Meeting Protocol

Each member will provide information and or input on agenda items of their choosing. Each member will take only one opportunity for input until all board members have had an opportunity for input. If discussion is limited by the chair, the limitation will be imposed consistently on each member. Each member will be encouraged to provide input (Policy BE Local).

Regardless of voting for or against a particular item, board members and the superintendent will publicly and privately support the final decision of the board. (The board voted to support/reject the recommendation, and I support the board).

Board members and the Superintendent will avoid surprising one another at meetings with last minute information, requests for information and questions.

Board members will notify the board chair or the superintendent if they are required to miss a meeting. Notification will be made as soon as possible after the board member knows of the impending absence.
