The Board chair will confer with the superintendent in establishing the agenda for all regular meetings of the Board. Items of business may be suggested by any Board member, staff member, student or citizen of the Northwest Regional Education Service District (NWRESD) by notifying the superintendent or Board chair at least five working days prior to the meeting. Items to be included on the published agenda must be submitted to the superintendent or the Board chair no later than five working days preceding the Board meeting. Items of business not on the agenda may be discussed and acted upon if the majority of the Board
agrees to consider them. 

A consent agenda may be used by the Board for noncontroversial business. The consent agenda will consist of routine business that requires action but not necessarily discussion. These items may all be approved at the same time. A Board member may ask that any item be removed from the consent agenda. The removed item will then be placed on the regular agenda.

The agenda will follow a general order established by the Board. Opportunities for the audience to be heard may be included on the agenda. The Board will follow the order of business set up by the agenda unless the order is altered by a consensus of the Board.

The agenda, together with supporting materials, will be distributed to the Board members at least two full working days prior to the meeting. The agenda will be available to the press and to interested patrons through the superintendent’s office at the same time it is available to the Board members. Copies of the agenda for the press and public will not contain any confidential information included in the Board members’ packets.

A copy of the agenda will be posted online. Members of the public may request a copy of the agenda at any NWRESD service center.

The district will ensure equally effective communications are provided to qualified person with disabilities upon request as required by the Americans with Disabilities Act. Individuals visually impaired will receive an agenda, any related supporting materials available to the general public, and minutes in an appropriate alternative format upon request of at least 48 hours notice prior to and/or following a public meeting.

Appropriate auxiliary aids and services available to ensure equally effective communications with qualified persons with disabilities may include, but are not limited to, qualified interpreters, assistive listening systems, note takers, large print, Braille, audio recordings and readers. Primary consideration will be given to the requests of the person with a disability in the selection of appropriate auxiliary aids and services.

Should the Board demonstrate such a requests would result in a fundamental alteration in the service, program or activity or an undue financial and administrative burdens, alternate, equally effective communications will be used.

Auxiliary aids and services for persons with disabilities will be available at no charge to the individual.
