7.a.a. Policy 1.400 School Board Meetings
Rationale:
Policy 1.400 - School Board Meetings
Public Chapter 350 creates additional opportunities for board members to attend board meetings electronically. Now, board members will be able to use this method of attendance for two additional reasons: (1) if they are sick or in a period of convalescence on the advice of a healthcare professional; and (2) due to inclement weather.

7.a.b. Policy 1.402 Notification of Meetings
Rationale:
Policy 1.402 - Notification of Meetings & Policy 1.404 - Appeals to and Appearances Before the Board
State law, Public Chapter 300, now requires that notice of board meetings include information on how individuals may provide public comment on agenda items. Additionally, each board meeting with actionable items on the agenda is required to have a time dedicated to public comment. The law allows Boards to establish reasonable restrictions on the length of the comment period, number of speakers, and the length of time per speaker. This is an area in which Boards have significant flexibility, and we encourage modifying our model policy to meet local needs.
