The tentative agenda for each board meeting shall state the topics for discussion and action at the board meeting.     The agenda is part of the public notice of the board meeting and will be posted and distributed.

Persons wishing to place an item on the agenda must make a written request to the superintendent prior to the drafting of the tentative agenda.            The person making the request must state the person's name, address, purpose of the presentation, action desired, and pertinent background information. Requests from the public may be added to the tentative agenda at the discretion of the superintendent after consultation with the board president.  Requests received after the deadline may only be added to the agenda for good cause.

The tentative agenda and supporting documents shall be sent to the board members prior to the scheduled board meeting.  These documents are the private property of the board member.  Persons wishing to view the tentative agenda and supporting documents may do so at the administration office.

The board shall take action only on the items listed on the tentative agenda posted with the public notice. Items added to the agenda may be discussed or taken under advisement by the board.  If an added item is acted upon, the minutes of the board meeting shall state the reason for immediate action.

It shall be the responsibility of the board president and superintendent to develop the agenda for each board meeting.

Very often the board must consider agenda items which are noncontroversial or similar in content.  Such agenda items might include ministerial tasks such as, but not limited to, the approval of the agenda, approval of previous minutes, approval of bills, approval of reports, etc.  These items might also include similar groups of decisions such as, but not limited to, approval of staff contracts, approval of maintenance details for the school buildings and grounds or approval of various schedules.

In order for a more efficient administration of board meetings, the board may elect to use a consent agenda for the passage of such noncontroversial items or items of a similar nature.

The superintendent in consultation with the board president and board secretary shall place items on the consent agenda.    By using a consent agenda, the board has consented to the consideration of certain items as a group under one resolution.  Should a consent agenda be used, each item will be allowed sufficient discussion time to review the item.  Items may be removed from the consent agenda by a proper motion.

Nothing in this policy is to be construed as an attempt to avoid full compliance with laws dealing with open meetings or public notice of the agenda and meeting.
