Section I-703 - Regular and Special Meeting Schedules

A.R.S. 17 requires the board to meet in regular session in January of each year and at such other times as are fixed by the board.

B. The board and committee meeting schedules for future calendar years are submitted to the board for approval in October.

C. Regular Board Meetings. Generally, regular meetings of the board shall convene on the third Wednesday of the month. A simple majority of board members may agree to meet on another day.

D. Special Board Meetings. Special meetings of the board may be held upon call of the president, and the president shall call a special meeting whenever requested to do so by a majority of the total members of the board.

E. Joint Board of Regents (BOR)/BESE Meetings. The Board of Regents shall meet with BESE at least twice a year to coordinate programs of public elementary, secondary, vocational-technical, career, and higher education.

F. Regular Committee Meetings. The chair of each committee of the board shall conduct regular committee meetings at such times as scheduled for consideration of agenda items.

G. Special Committee Meetings. Special meetings of a committee may be held upon call of the committee chair, and the chair shall call a special meeting whenever requested to do so by a majority of the total named members of the committee.

H. Committee of the Whole

1. The board may, if it so desires, constitute itself as a committee rather than as a full body and proceed to discuss matters as if it were in a committee, i.e., with relaxed rules.

2. When the board convenes itself as a Committee of the Whole, it acts as any committee. Its discussion is limited to the agenda item(s), and it has no greater authority than a regular committee. The board president convenes and adjourns the meeting, and each committee chair presides over that portion of the meeting pertaining to the issues routinely considered by his/her committee. Votes are not final, and committee actions are considered to be recommendations from the committee to the board.
