Can Action Items be added via amended agenda

[WalksLikeADuck]

There is a Public School Board Meeting tomorrow night. Currently, the agenda lists: A. Call to Order/Roll Call; B. Establishment of Quorum;

C. Approval of Agenda;D. Motion to Enter Into Closed Session in accordance with Open Meetings Act); The appointment, employment, compensation, discipline, performance, or dismissal, of specific employees of the public body or legal counsel for the public body.

E. Motion to Adjourn Closed Session and Re-enter into Open Session

F. Motion to Adjourn Meeting

We beleive that the board is going to try to amend the agenda prior to approval to add a vote after re-entering into open session. Can an agenda be ammended to add action items at the meeting?

Can you reference the RONR with the answer so I have it? Thanks!

Can an agenda be ammended to add action items at the meeting?

So far as RONR is concerned, yes, but the Open Meetings Act may provide otherwise.

Can you reference the RONR with the answer so I have it? Thanks!

See RONR, 10th ed., pg. 128, lines 22-24; pg. 360, lines 18-35 and FAQ #14.

Thanks for the quick response!

You don't say if this is a special meeting or a regular meeting. If the former, it would not be in order to transact any business outside of the purpose for which the meeting was called, except as the bylaws or public laws may provide.
