The majority of the full membership of the Board of Directors constitutes a quorum and must be present for the transaction of business, either in-person or electronically. Action by the board regarding affairs of the district may be taken only when a quorum is in attendance at the board meeting. While in-person participation is encouraged, board members may attend meetings either in-person or electronically provided each member can hear and be heard in real time by all members present and the public.
While board members are encouraged to attend board meetings, four members will constitute a quorum and are a sufficient number to transact business of the school corporation. The adjournment of a meeting may be executed without a quorum.
An affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast is sufficient to pass a motion or take any action unless law or board policy requires a vote of a greater number.
The affirmative vote of two-thirds of the entire membership of the board, or the affirmative vote of all members present at a meeting where a quorum but not the entire board is present, is required before the board can go into closed session.
It is the responsibility of each board member to attend board meetings.
