Bill > HB2981

This bill requires all school district boards of education to post their meeting minutes, both for regular and special meetings, on their school district's website within two weeks of the minutes being approved by the board, and these minutes must be easily accessible, meaning they can be found within two clicks from the main page of the website. Failure to meet these requirements will be considered an "administration and organization deficiency" during the district's accreditation review, which is a process to ensure schools meet state standards. The bill also clarifies that while school boards can use an Affidavit of Board Action to prove an action was taken at a meeting, this does not exempt them from keeping official minutes or from posting them online as required by this new provision. This act will take effect on November 1, 2026.
