This bill allows the governing board of public school districts, charter districts, or public charter schools to enter into executive sessions with a simple majority vote if there are vacancies reducing their membership below two-thirds.

  • Section 74-206

    An executive session shall be authorized by a two-thirds (2/3) vote of the governing body. → If the governing board of a public school district, charter district, or public charter school has vacancies such that fewer than two-thirds (2/3) of board members have been seated, then the board may enter into executive session on a simple roll call majority vote.

    This change allows boards with fewer members than two-thirds to convene executive sessions more easily.
