Item 4A. Rules of the Board
Superintendent's Recommendation:
MOTION TO AMEND THE RULES OF THE BOARD.
Background:
During the January 4, 2024 Board meeting, the Board considered and discussed revising the Rules of the Board to account for changes to the study session meeting structure. In addition, Commissioners discussed including a code of conduct for Commissioners. As a result, at the February 15, 2024 Board meeting, a code of conduct was proposed as a new Section V. Further revisions to the Order of Business, Agendas, and Suspension of the Rules were also proposed at that time.
Following the January 4 and February 15, 2024 Board meeting discussions, the following revisions to the Rules of the Board have been proposed for approval:
- Section I.B.: removes the study session schedule and allows for study sessions to be held as needed in the same manner as any special meeting.
- Section I.C.: removes outdated language about providing notice to Commissioners.
- Section II.A.: reflects updates to the Order of Business, including adding the opportunity for Study Topics and moving Communications ahead of Special Business.
- Section V.: adds a Commissioner Code of Conduct.
- Section VI.: adds a new provision for Non-discrimination, Fair Treatment, and Compliance with Laws.
- Section VIII.: clarifies that only regular meeting agendas may be amended at any time.
- Section XIII.: removes the suspension of the Rules clause.
These revisions are included in the attached Rules of the Board. The Media Guidelines and Legislative Procedures are also attached for reference.
