207 SPECIAL MEETINGS OF THE SCHOOL BOARD

Special meetings of the board may be called for either of the following reasons: 1. To enable the board to concentrate and take action on a single problem or set of problems, or 2. To enable the board to take emergency action between regular meetings. A special school board meeting is one called at times other than at regular or recessed board meetings for the purpose of considering items that are specific in nature. Notice for special school board meetings should be given no fewer than three days in advance to the members of the board. However, if three days notice is not possible, a notice of not fewer than twenty four hours before the meeting is permissible. This notice shall indicate the purpose of the meeting. Only items mentioned in the notice shall be considered at special meetings unless all board members are present and unanimously agree to include other items. Special meetings may be called by the chairperson or clerk or any other member of the board. All special meetings are open to the public and the news media. No public discussion shall be held on items other than those related to the call of the meeting except by a unanimous vote of the full board.
