BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Series 200
Policy Title: Rules of Order Code No. 210.7
An orderly board meeting allows the board members to participate in the discussion and decision process on an issue confronting the School District. Rules of order for board meetings allow school district business and the relative information concerning the business to be brought to the attention of the Board. They also allow the Board to discuss, act upon, and make a clear record of school district business in a regular, ordered, reasonable, and consistent manner.
The Board will follow Robert’s Rule of Order, Revised, latest edition as modified by this policy and subsequent rule.
The purpose of modified rules adopted by the Board are:
It is the responsibility of each board member to follow the rules of order stated in this policy at each meeting, and it is the responsibility of the presiding officer to conduct the board meeting within these rules.
