Policy No.: 2011 Board Approved: March 19, 2019 Revised:
Special Rule of Order to Permit the Use of Consent Agendas The Board adopted a special rule of order as permitted by Roberts Rules of Order to permit the use of a Consent Agenda at regular Board meetings. A consent agenda allows for multiple non- controversial items to be approved at one time. The Chairperson decides what will be on a consent agenda. An item will be removed from the consent agenda if requested by any member. While no reason is required to remove an item from a consent agenda, common reasons include 1) to allow for discussion, 2) to allow for a 'no' vote, and 3) to hold a separate recorded vote. A consent agenda is approved when there are no objections raised to approval. The Chairperson anticipates consent agendas will include minutes, personnel reports, approval of candidates for degrees and certificates, and certain policies that have been previously discussed by the Board.
