AGENDA PREPARATION AND DISSEMINATION
The Cameron Parish School Board President shall direct the Superintendent to prepare, or cause to be prepared, an agenda for all regular School Board meetings. Items of business may be suggested by School Board members, administrative staff, employees, school patrons, or lay citizens of the school district for inclusion on the agenda. The agenda shall not be changed less than twenty-four (24) hours, exclusive of Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays, prior to the scheduled time of the meeting.
Each item on the agenda shall be listed separately and described with reasonable specificity. Before the School Board may take any action on the agenda item, the presiding officer shall read aloud the description of the item.
A request to be considered for a place on the agenda of any items or by any group or individual other than a School Board member shall be filed in writing with the Superintendent no later than five (5) days preceding the next scheduled School Board meeting. Any material to be used must be submitted at the time of request.
Items of business not on the agenda may not be suggested from the floor for discussion except upon unanimous approval of the School Board present at a meeting. The motion to add an item not on the agenda shall identify the item with reasonable specificity, including the purpose for the proposed addition to the agenda, and shall be entered into the minutes. In keeping with state law and School Board policy, prior to any vote to add an item to the agenda, there shall be an opportunity for public comment on the motion.
All School Board meeting materials and supporting data shall be disseminated to the members of the School Board so that they are received no later than twenty-four (24) hours prior to any School Board meeting, whenever possible.
