Board of Trustees Meetings

 

 

All meetings of two or more members of the Board at which any public business may be discussed or any formal action taken shall be open to the public at all times except for periods in which the Board is in executive session.  All such meetings will be properly noticed and minutes will be taken and recorded as required by law.

 

No business may be conducted unless a quorum is present.  A quorum shall consist of a simple majority (more than half) of the members serving on the Board.  A member who is attending a meeting via remote conferencing (i.e. telephone, video, etc.) shall be considered to be in attendance at the meeting for quorum purposes.

 

Regular meetings

 

Regular meetings of the Board of Trustees shall be held on the school’s campus at 33 North Institute Street, Colorado Springs, Colorado, unless otherwise established by the Board.

 

Meetings of the Board shall be held on the last Monday of each month at 5:00 p.m. unless otherwise established by the Board.

 

Special meetings

 

Special meetings of the Board may be called by the Board chairperson at any time and shall be called by the chairperson upon the request of a majority of the Board.

 

The secretary to the superintendent shall be responsible for giving a written notice of any special meeting to each Board member at least 72 hours in advance of the meeting if mailed and 24 hours in advance if hand-delivered personally to the member.  The notice must contain time, place and purpose of the meeting and names of the members requesting the meeting.

 

Any member may waive notice of a special meeting at any time before, during or after such meeting, and attendance at a special meeting shall be deemed to be a waiver.

 

No business other than that stated in the notice of the special meeting shall be transacted unless all members are present and agree to consider and transact other business.

 

Work sessions and retreats

 

The Board, as a decision-making body, is confronted with a continuing flow of problems, issues and needs which require action.  While the Board is determined to expedite its business, it is also mindful of the importance of planning, brainstorming and thoughtful discussion without action.  Therefore, from time to time the Board may schedule work sessions or retreats, which shall be open to the public.  No action shall be taken during such sessions.  Public notice of the session, including the topics for discussion and study, shall be provided.
