11. ADJOURNMENT:


The Board believes that late night meetings deter public participation, can affect the Board’s decision-making ability, and can be a burden to staff. No new item of business, except the consent agenda, will be considered after 10:00 p.m., unless it is determined by a majority of the Board to extend to a specific time. The meeting shall be extended no more than once, or may be adjourned to a later date.

Individuals may address the Board of Education concerning school business not on the agenda, but public comment cannot be acted upon or discussed by the Board unless placed on an agenda at a subsequent meeting, in accordance with the law (Brown Act). The Board may request staff to respond orally at the meeting or in writing at a future time.

Request To Place An Item On The Agenda:
Members of the public may request that items be placed on the agenda of any regular Board of Education meeting. The request must be in writing and be submitted to the Superintendent with supporting documents and information, if any, at least six school days prior to the scheduled meeting date. The Superintendent shall be the sole judge of whether the request is or is not within the subject matter jurisdiction of the Board and will deter­mine whether the agenda item is appropriate for discussion in open session or closed session of the Board. Items placed on the agenda by the public will be for information and discussion only so the Board may be advised of the views of the community. (Ed. Code 35145.5 – Board Policy 9322)
