B-1750 © BEDBA AGENDA PREPARATION AND DISSEMINATION
B-1750 © BEDBA Regular Meetings
The Superintendent will prepare Board meeting agendas in consultation with the Board President.
The Superintendent or Board members may place items on the agenda. Any Board member desiring to place an item on the agenda will notify the Superintendent of the particular item of business at least five (5) central office working days before the meeting agenda is finalized (at least six [6] days prior to the meeting). Inclusion on the next agenda will depend upon the amount of time necessary to provide information to the Board for deliberation and decision making. The Superintendent will make this decision in consultation with the Board President.
The agenda and supporting materials shall be distributed to the Board members not less than twenty-four (24) hours prior to the meeting.
Meeting notices shall include the date, time and place of the meeting and an agenda containing a list of specific items of business to be discussed or transacted at the meeting or information on how the public may obtain a copy of such an agenda. Except in the case of an emergency, the agenda shall be available to the public at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to the meeting. Reasonable public notice of a meeting shall be by a notice given at least ten (10) days before a scheduled meeting and distributed to broadcast stations licensed by the federal communications commission (FCC) and newspapers of general circulation that have provided a written request for such notice.
Special Meetings
Whenever possible, the procedures for agenda preparation and dissemination used for regular meetings will be used for special meetings.
These procedures may be altered by the Superintendent during an emergency or when compliance would be impractical. However, the Superintendent shall comply with all legal requirements in scheduling special meetings.
