Guest Deb DeGraaf Posted April 26, 2016 at 07:23 PM Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 at 07:23 PM After my school board goes into executive session, can a board member make a motion resulting from the discussion in the executive session, if that motion wasn't posted on the agenda?

George Mervosh Posted April 26, 2016 at 07:29 PM Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 at 07:29 PM Robert's Rules would not prohibit it, but you should check with the board's solicitor regarding any applicable rules in statute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim Goldsworthy Posted April 26, 2016 at 07:57 PM Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 at 07:57 PM >> . . . posted on the agenda. Whenever you are dealing with a sunshine law (where items of business must be pre-agendized for public scrutiny) you have jumped outside of the default parliamentary assumptions of Robert's Rules of Order. • Under plain-vanilla Robert's Rules, non-agendized items can be freely moved (relatively speaking; there are parliamentary tools available to insert dynamic changes into one's agenda). • Under one's sunshine law, such flexibility is out-lawed, or severely restricted. • Under Robert's Rules, you can make motions in executive session and adopt them, without the need to exit executive session to do the act of adoption. • Under some sunshine laws, whatever you decide in executive session must be mirrored, or duplicated, in open session. *** Beware.
