In the most recent OSBA Legal Ledger Sidebar, Sara Clark and Jennifer Hardin discuss voting at school board meetings, including quorum, specific requirements for votes, method of voting and executive sessions.
For more information about voting at school board meetings, OSBA has a helpful fact sheet: Voting makes a difference.
If you have general questions about legal requirements for voting at school board meetings or other laws governing board meetings, please contact us on the legal hotline at (855) OSBA-LAW. Questions about specific situations should be directed to your board’s legal counsel.
If you have comments or suggestions for future Legal Ledger Sidebars, feel free to contact anyone in the legal division:
