2.10 - Public Attendance at Board Meetings

SERIES 2 - THE BOARD AND GOVERNANCE

The Liberty Common School board represents the mission and vision of the school and is composed of parents from Liberty Common School. It desires to provide opportunities for any member of the school community to express interest in and concern for the school. Accordingly, all members of the school community are cordially invited to attend all open meetings of the board. A time for public comment shall be a part of every regular board meeting.

Meetings are closed to the public only when the board is meeting in executive session. An executive session may be called only to discuss matters not appropriate for public discussion pursuant to Colorado Revised Statutes, Section 24-6-402. An executive session may be called only upon the affirmative vote of two-thirds of a quorum present. No formal action of the board may be taken in any executive session.

Although the board wishes to encourage everyone to attend its open meetings, it must be remembered that board meetings are conducted to carry on the business of the school. Board meetings are not “public meetings,” but meetings held in public, and public participation must be controlled to some extent so that the board can deal with its agenda within a reasonable time.

Persons who wish to make requests, presentations, or proposals to the board should follow the format listed in Section 2.7 Board Meetings of this Policies Manual.

Notice of the Liberty Common School Board meetings shall be posted in the school office one day prior to the meeting.
