Policy 204.02

Special Board Meetings

A special or emergency meeting of the board may be called by the president when necessary, or upon recommendation of the superintendent, or any two board members. Each member of the board shall have notice of the purpose, time and place of the meeting.

Should a special meeting be called, public notice shall be given and the meeting shall be conducted in accordance with the open meeting laws. If the special meeting called is an emergency meeting and the board cannot give public notice in its usual manner, the board shall give public notice of the meeting as soon as practical and possible in light of the situation. The reason for the emergency meeting and why notice in its usual manner could not be given shall be stated in the minutes. In the case of special or emergency meetings of the board, the minutes will be available in the superintendent’s office by the end of the next regular business day. Only the purpose for which the special or emergency meeting was called may be discussed or decided in the meeting.
