Can the President "Chair" remove an item from the agenda?

Can the President "Chair" remove an item from the agenda prior to calling the meeting to order? Small board (7). We have been instructed by our governing body to post our tentative agenda 24 hrs. prior to the mtg. time. To be posted in specified places. Our agenda format is,

Board name

Meeting date and time

Tentative agenda "at the discretion of the chair"

Call to order

Minutes

etc.

The local school board utilizes the same format. Their President is given the power to not allow items onto the agenda if he so chooses. No vote is necessary. It seems that this is generally accepted in this area. There is nothing stated in our by-laws to the contrary, nor anything stating that it is a written rule specific to our board either. Note that our by-laws do state that Robert's Rules are utilized in our meetings.

Is this an acceptable practice? Should we fear illegalities?

Thank you in advance for your input.
