Bill > SB2139

This bill amends Tennessee law to allow for greater flexibility in how school boards and public charter school governing bodies conduct meetings. Specifically, it permits board meetings to be held with members participating electronically, even if a quorum (the minimum number of members required to conduct official business) is not physically present at the meeting location, under certain conditions such as inclement weather or natural disasters, with a limit of three such meetings per year. Additionally, it clarifies that all members participating electronically must be visually identifiable and requires public charter schools to post meeting notices on their websites. The bill also allows out-of-state members of a public charter school's governing body to participate in all scheduled meetings electronically.
