Our Church board made a motion to implement changes to the Sunday School structure upon a presentation.

Meeting adjourned. 2 days later, new findings by board members establish that the person making the presentation ad not approved by the current Sunday School committee. this new finding would have impacted the motion.

QUESTION: Can the motion be held until further notice or until all new findings are cleared, and the motion then renewed.?

A board doesn't "make" a motion. A board member makes a motion and the board adopts or defeats it.

If the motion was adopted, it can probably be rescinded (or just amended).

If the motion was defeated, it can be made again (renewed) as if it had never been made.

Thank you. Corrections are appreciated. The point of the question if that the motion was made and some information pertinent to it was not known to the board. In otherword ommited at th time of the meeting. The new findings came 2 days later. What to do?

"What to do" depends on what the actual motion was.

You can:

(a.) leave it alone; let the decision stand.

(b.) if the motion was rejected, you can make the motion again.

(c.) if the motion was adopted, you can rescind it or amend it, if there is anything left, or anything ongoing regarding that motion.

(d.) If there was nothing left and nothing ongoing, you may make a new motion crafted to undo whatever the action was.

Just because there is new information days later, that fact by itself does not mean that the decision was a bad decision.

The new information might even bolster the original decision's wisdom.

You tell us: What do you want to do about it?

Why not let the decision stand?

What needs changing, if anything?

Thank you. You have things into perspective. The decision was a good one. And therefore we just need to make the appropiate changes. So I believe I will opt to rescind it at the mext board meeting since the time allow us to do so.

If the decision was a good one, and you just need to make the appropriate changes, then you do not want to rescind the motion. Instead, you want to amend it to incorporate the changes.
