The School Board

Regular Meeting Agenda Format

Purpose:
The Gadsden Independent School District (GISD) School Board will conduct business following this format.

Participants:
The School Board and the Superintendent.

Process:
To expedite the board's business and to provide a framework for the orderly conduct of business, the Superintendent in cooperation with the School Board President will prepare an agenda outlining the matters to be brought to board attention at meetings.

The board will follow the order of business set up by the agenda unless the order is modified by vote of the board during the meeting.

The agenda for a meeting will normally proceed according to the following order of business:

  1. Call to order and Roll Call
  2. Pledge of Allegiance and Mission Statement
  3. Program, Reports and Correspondence
  4. Modification of Agenda
  5. Consent Agenda
  6. Open forum
  7. Action Items
  8. Discussion Items
  9. Closed Session

The agenda format will include time allotments for each item as recommended by the Superintendent.

Any board member, staff member, student, or citizen of the district may suggest items of business. The inclusion of items suggested by staff members, students, or citizens will be at the discretion of the Board President or Superintendent. The agenda of all regularly scheduled informational meet-ings, however, will allow suitable time for the remarks of the public who wish to speak before the board.

The agenda, together with supporting materials, will be distributed to board members at least four working days before the board meeting to permit them to give items of business careful considera-tion. The agenda will also be made available to the press and posted in all school buildings and local post offices.

Yearly Board Meeting Agenda Calendar

The Superintendent, in cooperation with the School Board President, will prepare a yearly board calendar for the purpose of scheduling agenda items that are regular board business items every year. The yearly board meeting agenda calendar will be distributed to board members prior to the first board meeting in July.

Timeline:
On going throughout the years.
