Guest New Board Member Posted June 22, 2017 at 06:16 PM Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 at 06:16 PM If a board votes on a motion made by a member (raised as a resolution to issue a contract to an employee that was non-renewed-Donaldson hearing) can the motion be made again at the next meeting or is that out of order? Specifically, a vote was made in regards to above which resulted in 4 Yes, 3 No, and 2 Abstentions. This vote required a majority of the full board or 5 Yay's. Later it was realized that a member which abstained was unaware of the full majority rule and wished to vote Yay. Only a No voting member couldld put the vote on the floor again at the same meeting and refused. Can this motion be made again at the next meeting? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hieu H. Huynh Posted June 22, 2017 at 06:34 PM Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 at 06:34 PM A defeated motion could be renewed at the next meeting. Where does it say that the vote required a majority of the full board? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In general, for "ordinary acts of the society" (RONR's term): • Whatever is adopted, may be amended or rescinded. • And whatever is rejected, may be "renewed" (RONR's tem) in the next session (i.e., the next order of business). *** A2.) "Yes", in general. *** The only exceptions for the "general" case would be thing like previous notice, or a customized rule (e.g., bylaw, special rule of order, etc.). And it seems you have a customized rule in place: >> Only a No voting member could put the vote on the floor again at the same meeting, and refused.

That requires a majority the full board. The board functions under Robert's Rules Revised. Therefore, the motion to reconsider must be brought at the same meaning by a member of the prevailing vote. In such, it would seem that renewing a motion at the next meeting would be in line? A majority vote of the full membership of the Board is required for: Appointment, transfer, removal and/or renewal of teaching/certificated and/or non-certificated staff members Parliamentary Authority CONDUCT OF BOARD MEETING Roberts’ Rules of Order, Newly Revised, shall govern the Board of Education in its deliberations and acts in all cases in which it is not inconsistent with statutes of the State of New Jersey, rules of the State Board of Education, or these bylaws.
