Rationale:  A call to order indicates the beginning of the meeting. 

Rationale:  Roll call, a fundamental process in meetings, holds crucial importance when it comes to determining the presence of a quorum. A quorum refers to the minimum number of participants required for a meeting to be considered valid and for the decisions made within it to hold weight.

Rationale: 

Rationale:  The Nebraska Open Meetings Act guarantees that every meeting of a public body shall be open to the public in order that citizens may exercise their democratic privilege of attending and speaking at meetings of public bodies.

Rationale:  As identified by the NE Open Meetings Act, a public notice announces the time, date, and place of a public meeting. The public has the right to attend meetings of public bodies, listen to debate(s), and watch the decision-making process.

Rationale:  A meeting agenda helps you and your colleagues prepare for a meeting and guide yourselves through the items you need to discuss. Time spent in planning an agenda will likely save time for all meeting participants by providing a clear set of topics, objectives, and time frames.

Rationale:   A consent agenda groups routine meeting discussion points into a single agenda item. In so doing, the grouped items can be approved in one action, rather than through the filing of multiple motions.

Rationale:  Informational/Discussion Items - Items intended only to provide information to the Board and require no action; this includes communication items. Informational items can be scheduled during Regular, Special, or Committee of the Whole meetings.

Rationale:  Meeting Report: A more relaxed and user-friendly summary, focusing on main points and decisions, making it easier to digest and understand.

Rationale:  The Board of Education may move into a closed session by a majority vote if a closed session is necessary for the protection of the public interest or the prevention of needless injury to the reputation of an individual.

Rationale:  An action item is a single, clearly defined task that must be done.

Rationale:  The BOE has listened to presentations by Tammy Brodersen, Midland Insurance Agency, EMC, and Sherry Shonka, Public Risk Management Incorporated, ALICAP. These presentations were to assist it in determining which insurance provider will be the District's provider for 2024-25. Each company gave a 30-45-minute presentation of their product and services at the September 9th COW. A brief discussion will proceed with the motion and voting of the BOE.

Rationale:  The purpose of the public comment period is for members of the public to inform the governing body of their views.

Rationale:  A motion to adjourn is a formal procedure that ends a meeting. If there is any unfinished business at the time of adjournment, it is typically carried over to the next meeting. Prior to the motion to adjourn, the chair should be sure that no important matters have gone unnoticed.
