The tentative agenda for each board meeting will state the topics for discussion and action at the board meeting. The agenda is part of the public notice of the board
meeting and will be posted and distributed.
Persons requesting to place an item on the agenda must make a request to the superintendent prior to the drafting of the tentative agenda. The person making the request
must state the person's name, address, purpose of the presentation, action desired and pertinent background information. Requests from the public may be added to the
tentative agenda at the discretion of the superintendent after consultation with the board president. Requests received after the deadline may only be added to the agenda
for good cause.
The tentative agenda and supporting documents will be sent to the board members 3 days prior to the scheduled board meeting. These documents are the private property
of the board member. Persons wishing to view the tentative agenda and supporting documents may do so at the central administration office.
The board will take action only on the items listed on the tentative agenda posted with the public notice. Items added to the agenda may be discussed or taken under
advisement by the board. If an added item is acted upon, the minutes of the board meeting will state the reason justifying the immediate action.
It is the responsibility of the board president and superintendent to develop the agenda for each board meeting.
NOTE: There is no legal requirement for the method used in developing the board agenda. This policy states the common procedure for drafting the board agenda. If a board uses another procedure, it should be reflected in this policy.
