INFORMATION AND PROCEDURES

MEETINGS:  The Board of Trustees meets on the first and third Wednesday of each month at 5:30 p.m.  Meetings are held at Prospect High School, 2060 Second Street, Oroville, CA, unless otherwise noticed.

AGENDAS:  Agendas are posted at the Oroville Union High School District Office and on the district’s website (ouhsd.org) at least 72 hours prior to each meeting as well as at each school site.  Immediately prior to each regular meeting, agendas are placed beside the sign-in sheet on the counter at Prospect High School.  A copy of the agenda may also be picked up in the district’s Superintendent's Office or a copy may be obtained by mail prior to the meeting by contacting the Superintendent's Office.  A complete board packet of agenda materials is available at the Superintendent's Office and available at each school site.  Copies can be made for a nominal fee of 5 cents per page.

HEARING OF INDIVIDUALS ON NON-AGENDA ITEMS:  This is the time the President will invite anyone in the audience wishing to address the Board on a matter not listed on the agenda to step to the podium, state your name and address for the record and make your presentation.  Presentations will be limited to five (5) minutes; maximum of twenty (20) minutes to each subject matter.  State Law prohibits the Board from taking action on any item presented if it is not listed on the agenda, except under special circumstances as defined by the Government Code and Education Code.

HEARING OF INDIVIDUALS ON AGENDA ITEMS:  If you desire to address the Board on a matter that is on the agenda (except for Public Hearings, see below), you will be asked to stand or raise your hand until recognized by the President.  You will then be asked to state your name and the agenda item on which you wish to speak.  When that item comes up on the agenda you will be asked to step to the podium, repeat your name, give your address for the record, and make your presentation.  Presentations will be limited to five (5) minutes; maximum of twenty (20) minutes to each subject matter.

CONSENT CALENDAR:  All items under the Consent Calendar are considered to be routine items, usually handled by one motion and vote of the Board.  A first reading of board policies and administrative regulations will be listed on the Consent Calendar for approval.   The board may choose to approve the policies/regulations with one reading or request that they be brought back for a second reading at a subsequent meeting (not less than five (5) days after the first reading) for a final review before approval.  There will be no separate discussion of Consent Calendar items unless Board Members or persons in the audience request specific items to be removed from the Consent Calendar for separate discussion and action.  Any item(s) removed from the Consent Calendar will be considered following the vote on the remaining Consent Calendar.

PUBLIC HEARINGS:  Any member of the audience may speak on items scheduled for public hearing at the time the President declares the hearing open to the public.  You will be asked to step to the podium, state your name and address for the record and make your presentation.  Presentations will be limited.

OLD / NEW BUSINESS:  These items involve discussion amongst Board members after individuals, if any, have made their requested comments on specific agenda items.  They are taken individually in numerical order, unless the President or Superintendent requests a change.

CLOSED SESSION:  All meetings of the Board of Trustees are open to the public.  The Board is required to discuss matters involving litigation, employee relations, certain personnel matters, pupil discipline or property acquisition, as defined by State Law, in a closed session.  When such an occasion arises the President will announce that the Board is adjourning to a closed session giving the general area of discussion prior to adjournment.  The Board may adjourn to another room or clear the public meeting room and meet privately.  Any formal action taken in Closed Session will be announced when the Board returns to public session.

ACTION ITEMS/RESOLUTIONS:  These items generally fall under “New Business” and require formal action by the Board.
