MEETINGS OF THE SCHOOL BOARD

Regular School Board Meetings:

Regular School Board meetings shall be transacted at least once a month as authorized by law (Wisconsin State Statute 120.11).

The current meeting schedule, including dates, times, locations, and any changes, can be found on the District’s website. Each meeting will be properly noticed as per Wisconsin State Statute 985.01.

All regular meetings shall be open to the public, except as specifically provided by State Statute.  Only those items of business included on the properly noticed agenda shall be discussed and/or acted upon by the Board at the meeting. 

Other Meetings: 

Other meetings can be scheduled outside of the regularly scheduled School Board meetings to approve timely items. These other board meetings shall be held upon the call of the school board president or upon the filing of a request with the school board clerk signed by a majority of the school board members. Notice requirements pursuant to State Statute will be followed.

Provisions Applicable to All Board Meetings: 

The Board President, or, in the President’s absence, the Vice President, shall serve as the presiding officer of each Board meeting. In the absence of both such officers, another Board officer present shall preside over the meeting. Every Board meeting shall initially be convened in open session, although the Board may thereafter convene and hold a closed session to the extent permitted by law and consistent with applicable legal requirements. 

The Board President and Clerk shall ensure that minutes of each Board meeting are recorded, approved, signed, and filed in the Board records. To the extent required by law, the proceedings of Board meetings shall be publicly disseminated within 45 days after the meeting.
