A school board approved a motion to give its administrators two-year contracts by a vote of 4 in favor and 3 opposed. Each of the administrators was notified of the action. Approaching the next meeting, one of the members who originally voted in favor of the two-year contacts, now wishes to move that the action be rescinded. RONR indicates on Page 319 that such an action may not be reconsidered, but in the section on rescind there is nothing like the same language.
It seems to me if the issues is that once a contract is approved and the others are notified, there should be no difference between the motions to reconsider and rescind. Once the other party is notified, the offer and acceptance have been achieved and it is not thereafter in order to move that the action approving the contracts be rescinded.
I would appreciate the thoughts of others on the forum.
