BEDB
POLICY
STATEMENT
AGENDA PREPARATION AND
DISSEMINATION
The
superintendent shall prepare all agendas for meetings of the Board. In doing so, the superintendent shall
consult with the Board chairman and appropriate members of the administrative
staff.
Items of business
may be suggested by any Board member, staff member, student, or citizen of the
district. The inclusion of items
suggested by staff members, students, or citizens shall be at the discretion of
the chairman of the school board.
The agenda, however, shall always allow suitable time for the remarks of
the public who wish to speak briefly before the Board.
Items of business
not on the agenda may be discussed and acted upon if a majority of the Board
agrees to consider them. The Board,
however, may not revise Board policies, or adopt new ones, unless such action
has been scheduled.
The agenda,
together with supporting materials, shall be distributed to Board members
sufficiently prior to the Board meeting to permit them to give items of business
careful consideration. The agenda
and appropriate agenda materials shall also be made available to the press; to
representatives of community, staff, and student organizations; and to others
upon request, if at all possible.
