Any gathering of a majority of Board Members, either formal or informal, in which deliberation of a policy matter takes place, is defined as a meeting.
All Board meetings shall be conducted in accordance with the provisions of the laws of the State of Iowa. All such meetings, unless specifically exempt from the open meetings law, are required to have proper notification, public access, open board discussion, and voting by the Board Members on the issues properly before the Board, and a public record of the proceeding in the form of written minutes.
The Secretary shall be responsible for public notification of all meetings, arranging for tape‑recording (when necessary), taking minutes of all meetings, and retaining appropriate minutes and records as required by law. The minutes shall be kept on file as the permanent official records of school legislation for the District. The Secretary shall be the authorized deputy of the Board to maintain the minutes and shall make these available to any citizen who wishes to examine the minutes during usual office hours of the District.
