The Board President shall direct the Superintendent to prepare, or cause to be prepared, an agenda for all regular and special Board meetings. Items of business may be suggested by Board members, administrative staff, employees, school patrons, or lay citizens of the school district for inclusion on the agenda. A request to be considered for a place on the agenda of any items or by any group or individual other than a Board member shall be filed in writing with the Superintendent no later than five (5) working days preceding the next scheduled Board meeting. Any material to be used must be submitted at the time of the request.

All Board meeting materials and supporting data shall be disseminated to the members of the Board and shall be mailed no later than twenty-four (24) hours prior to any Board meeting, whenever possible.

No Board member shall be denied the right to have an item placed on the published agenda of a Board meeting. Except for announcements, requests for expressions of praise, commendations, sympathy, and the setting of dates and times for meetings, an item of business not on the agenda may not be suggested from the floor for discussion except by consent of two-thirds of the members present at a meeting.
