Marcus Posted January 22, 2018 at 07:07 PM Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 at 07:07 PM At our last BOE meeting, our Board tentatively approved an agenda item to change a policy. Now we would like to remove that agenda item for consideration because we want to discuss it further with our administrators before it goes before the full Board for final approval at the next meeting. Can we just not include the final approval agenda item on the next agenda or do we have to list it on the agenda and ask the Board to consider deleting it before they approve that agenda?

Benjamin Geiger Posted January 22, 2018 at 07:27 PM Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 at 07:27 PM Assuming your bylaws don't specify otherwise: You can move to amend the agenda before it's adopted, removing the agenda item you're concerned about. Alternately, you can move to object to the consideration of the question or to postpone until the next meeting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Who's Coming to Dinner Posted January 22, 2018 at 07:30 PM Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 at 07:30 PM There are no rules in RONR regarding a committee creating an agenda for a larger board. This is up to your custom rules. In any case, action should be taken by vote — no individual committee member has the right to pull the item.

Does "BOE" refer to a Board of Education? If so, and if it is considered a public body under the law, your agenda procedures may well be controlled by state law, local ordinance, or your own special Rules of Order. All of those would supersede RONR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
