What happened

In July the board voted to let members attend monthly meetings virtually, including executive sessions, with up to two members at once. On August 17 it made the policy permanent by a 3-2 vote and dropped the three-day notice rule.

Why it matters to families

It changes how the public board can meet and who can take part in closed sessions.

The evidence

July 20, 2026 minutes record the motion and a 4-1 roll call; August 17, 2026 minutes record the 3-2 vote on Policy 0167.1 and the removal of the notice rule from Policy 0164.
