1.0110.01 BOARD MEETINGS Issue Date: 8/10/05 Updated: 2/13/20 BE Meeting Defined
“Meeting” means the convening of the Board with a quorum present, whether in person or by means of electronic equipment, for the purpose of discussing, receiving public comments about, or acting upon a matter over which the Board has jurisdiction, including a workshop or executive session. However, a “meeting” does not include a chance or social gathering; or meetings where no funds are appropriated for expenditure and board members are convened solely to discuss administrative or operational matters which do not require formal action or would not come before the Board for discussion or action. Utah Code § 52-4-103(6) (2017) Rules of Order and Procedure The Board meets in accordance with its approved published schedule; special sessions may be scheduled when necessary. All meetings are announced to the public regarding time and place and are conducted openly for all. (The Board may go into executive sessions from which the public is excluded, but no official business may be finally approved during such time.) Anyone may attend the board meetings, but participation is restricted to those on the agenda; or, individuals may address the Board during open time. To be placed on the agenda, interested parties must contact the Superintendent at least one week prior to the meeting and provide an outline of information pertaining to the topic of interest. Three members of the Board constitute a quorum at all regular and special meetings and it is necessary for a majority of the members to concur before an action of the board becomes policy. Roberts Rules of Order govern the parliamentary procedure of meetings when not in conflict with adopted rules and regulations. Upon a two-thirds vote, the Board of Education may expel a member of the Board from an open public meeting of the Board for: 1. Disorderly conduct at the meeting; 2. The member’s direct or indirect financial conflict of interest regarding an issue discussed at or
action proposed to be taken at the meeting; or 3. Commission of a crime during the meeting.
The Board of Education may also adopt rules that expand the reasons for expelling a Board member from an open public meeting or which establish more restrictive procedures for such expulsion. Utah Code § 53A-3-106(5))(2015)
