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.
