Guest Rode Posted May 17, 2015 at 09:00 PM Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 at 09:00 PM Since in our by laws don't specify for what we can call Special meetings. What are consider Special meetings? Special meetings should be like emergency meetings?We have our Board of Directors of our school and we meet every month. The powers to admistrate the school are delegate to the headmaster . Every month in our regular meetings we discussed every item pertain to school issues. The Headmmaster is an exoficio member, as per our policies he with the Education Commiittee revise the school curriculum. The Board of directors on March by his recommendations approved the new curriculum after a thorough study. A motion was presented and approve by majority vote.Now some corporate parents want to call a Special meeting because they don't want the change.So can you clarify me if a motion was presented and approve by the BOD, and as establish in our bylaws and policies the procedures were follow can they ask for a Special meeting for this? Or maybe they can meet with the Headmaster to clarify their doubts . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edgar Guest Posted May 17, 2015 at 09:17 PM Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 at 09:17 PM . . . our by laws don't specify for what we can call Special meetings. Then you can't have special meetings. Wait until the next (regular) monthly meeting. And, assuming you're not a member of the board, you'll need to find a sympathetic board member to make your case. But don't confuse a meeting of the board with a meeting of the . . . corporation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edgar Guest Posted May 17, 2015 at 10:41 PM Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 at 10:41 PM What are Special meetings? Well, there are regular meetings (e.g. weekly or monthly or annually). But sometimes something comes up that can't wait until the next regular meeting. Or maybe the members want to devote one meeting to a specific (i.e. special) topic. That's what special meetings are for. But you can't have special meetings unless your bylaws say you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rode Posted May 17, 2015 at 11:53 PM Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 at 11:53 PM Yes, but can they call a special meeting of the co. To go against an administrative motion already approved? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hieu H. Huynh Posted May 18, 2015 at 12:09 AM Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 at 12:09 AM If your bylaws authorize special meetings (for the body that is meeting), then the section in the bylaws authorizing such meetings should include details on who can call those meetings and how much notice is required. As for going against an administrative motion already approved, see Official Interpretation 2006-13 on "Countermanding Board Action". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
