§ 78490 Council Meeting Requirements

Key Takeaways

  • •The council must have at least two regular meetings every year. They pick the times and places for these meetings.
  • •The council can have extra meetings anytime if the president calls for it or if five members ask for it in writing.
  • •The executive committee can meet anytime if the president or most of the committee members want to.

Example

Imagine your school's student council.

They have to meet at least twice a year, like once in the fall and once in the spring. But if the president or five members think they need to talk about something urgent, like planning a big event, they can call an extra meeting. The leaders of the council can also meet whenever they need to.
