§ 4910 Board Action Meeting Rules

Key Takeaways

  • •The board can only make decisions during official meetings, not outside of them.
  • •Board meetings cannot be held through emails or texts unless it's an emergency.
  • •In an emergency, all board members must agree in writing (can be electronic) to have a meeting via emails or texts.

Example

The school board wants to decide on buying new computers for the school.

They can't just talk about it over email or make the decision without a proper meeting. They have to wait until the next official board meeting to discuss and vote on it. If it's an emergency, like the old computers broke and kids can't do their work, they can have an emergency meeting over email, but only if every board member agrees to it in writing first.
