The first Board meeting of each month focuses on regular business items, while the second meeting of the month is an information/discussion session, with business items handled as needed.
Individual members of the Board of Trustees have no legal authority except at official Board meetings.
Official meetings are regularly scheduled meetings, legally called special meetings, and adjourned meetings. A quorum, which is a majority of the elected Board membership, must be present. The law also stipulates that: “The governing Board shall act by a majority vote of all the members constituting the governing Board.” Minutes of the meetings have the status of official legal documents and must include a record of each Board’s action.
District Board meetings must be open to the public. However, California law provides for closed sessions and the exclusion of the public when the Board is considering expulsion, suspension, or disciplinary action in connection with any student of the District; the appointment, employment, or dismissal of a public officer or employee; complaints or charges brought against a public officer or employee; litigation; labor negotiations; real estate transactions; and insurance and liability issues.
