205.3 Notification of Board Meetings

Public notices shall be given for meetings and work sessions and retreats held by the Board.

Public notice shall indicate the time, place, date and tentative agenda of the meeting, work session or retreat. The public notice shall be posted in a prominent place that is easily accessible to the public and is clearly designated for purpose of the same within the District’s office and/or the building where the meeting is to be held at least twenty-four (24) hours before the meeting is to occur.

A copy of the public notice will be provided to those who have filed a written request for notice with the Board secretary. A copy of the public notice will also be accessible by employees and students.

In the case of special meetings, public notice shall be given in the same manner as for a regular meeting unless it is an emergency meeting. If the meeting is an emergency meeting, public notice of the meeting shall be given as soon as practical and possible in light of the situation. The media and others who have requested notice shall be notified of the emergency meeting. Attendance at special meetings or emergency meetings by the media or a Board member shall constitute a waiver of the meeting.

It shall be the responsibility of the Board Secretary to give public notice of Board meetings and work sessions.
