School District 1 board suspends rules to let trustee join by phone
Summary
At a called meeting the School District 1 Board of Trustees voted to suspend its rules so Trustee Anderson could participate by phone while traveling; the board also approved the meeting agenda and confirmed a quorum. No members of the media attended.
The School District 1 Board of Trustees voted to suspend its rules to allow Trustee Mister Anderson to participate by phone while he is traveling, the board chair said at the start of a called meeting.
“The chair moved to suspend the rules for Mister Anderson to be on the phone while he's traveling,” the chair said, and the motion was seconded by Miss Faulkner. After members responded in the affirmative, the chair said, “So we'll suspend the rules and Mister Anderson is via phone until he gets here.”
The action came during the meeting's opening business. The board confirmed a quorum was present, noted that Miss Johnson was en route, and stated no members of the media were attending. The chair then asked Thomas to present an application related to an agenda item.
The suspension permits Anderson to participate remotely for the duration noted by the chair; the transcript records the board's agreement but does not provide a roll-call vote or individual vote tallies for this motion.
The board moved on to approve the meeting agenda and then took up a separate motion to enter executive session to discuss personnel and contractual matters.
