Meeting Order of Business
The Board of Education follows an adopted order of
business to handle the large number of matters that come
before it. Board members receive background information
to help them prepare for an informed discussion of
proposals.
The Board does not usually take action to adopt new
policies or change existing policies the first time they
are discussed, unless they are matters that demand
immediate attention. The delay permits thorough study
and allows time for you and other citizens to make your
wishes known before the Board takes action.
The proceedings of the Board are governed by state law
and guided in parliamentary procedure by Robert's Rules
of Order Newly Revised. The order of business for
regular, reconvened, rescheduled, special and emergency
meetings shall be as follows:
- 1.0 Roll Call *
- 2.0 Pledge of Allegiance
- 3.0 Focus on Students and Good
News Reports

Items marked with an asterisk shall be
included in the agenda for all Board meetings. Upon
request of the president or consent of a majority of
members present, the order of business at any meeting
may be changed. Closed meetings are held as necessary
within the above structure and according to the
provisions provided in Section 2(c) of the Illinois Open
Meetings Act, 5 ILCS 120/1.
