Bill Summary

General Description: This bill amends provisions related to state and local school board meetings.

AI Summary

This bill amends existing laws to change the notification requirements for both state and local school board meetings, generally requiring agendas to be published on the respective board's website at least 48 hours before a meeting, a reduction from the previous 72-hour requirement, though this notice period can be disregarded in emergencies as defined by state law. The bill also clarifies that the "chair" of the state board, rather than the "chairman," calls meetings and specifies that the state board must meet at least 11 times annually. For local school boards, the bill maintains their ability to adopt rules of order and procedure, conduct meetings accordingly, and make these rules publicly available, while also allowing them to meet outside their district boundaries during disasters or local emergencies, or for site visits where no official action is taken.
