The District 98 schoot board must clarify

' parliamentary rules. - .
The board needs to decide if the board chairman (a) is to

be a member (or an ex officio member) of alt comimittees;

- (b) will be counted in committee quorums; (c) may vote on

_ committee resolutions, -- }
Even. though: policy 9.26 states* the - board follows

' Bourinot’s Rules of Order, the board may change the rules

‘to suit itself, by bylaw: Bylaws. govern. the board’s: own
actions, and musi be applied rigidly until such time as they
are.amended. Three. readings are required to. adopt or

_ Whether the chairman is to be a member or an ex ‘officio
member should have -been determined -before any ¢om-

_ mittees held their first meetings. Especially since the board

decided at: its committee-of-the-whole Jan.’ 11° that each
committee at its first meeting should determine whether or
not-to hold ‘its meetings in-camera. .

’ Asan example, the transportation committee of ‘which I
am chairman, has only. one olher member. When we vote on

-. whether arnot to hold open meetings, 1 will vote to open the
meetings; the other member may vote to hold the meetings :
in-camera, _ According to Bourinot’s, in the case of a tie vote,
the chairman (myself) casts a second deciding vote. In

_ which case the transportation committee meetings would ‘

be open to the public. However, if the board chairman is to
be a voting member, making it a 3-trustee committee, |
would be out-voted and the transportation committee, too,
would hold i in-camera meetings. . :

~The board has a legal opinion which states, “Th view of
the fact that the members of the schoo] board are elected by
the public and that a board is responsible ‘for public
education, we would think a board would endeavour to keep
to a minimum the matters it wishes to be kept con-

‘fidential.” Even. the BCSTA report of the communication .
survey done by Steve Barcham in Terrace in December -
to . an. ab-.

“Keep. ‘in-camera “meetings -

‘are to be discussed in-camera; legal business or opinion;
_ purchase or sale of land;, accident claims, salaries and

' eonditions of service, or ‘efficiency, discipline or retirement
_ of members of the staff’ or employees; medical examiners

_ or examinations; indigent pupils: disciplinary reports.”’

Second,’ should committee, meetings have quorums? #
_Bourinot's advocates quorums ‘‘to avoid any appearance of.
action by 4 minority which might commit the whole group .
‘ without its assent or the opportunity to advance dissenting

opinion. "

‘Third, should commities keep minutes? “Minutes are a:
_ record of proceedings ‘and they. are an integral part of the ©
‘ » - operation of any organized body:” Bourinot’s notes. “The

minutes should accurately record the iteme of business

n, placed before: ‘the ‘meeting and the actions. taken and

decisions teached concerning them.”

Fourth, should ail trusteea tor only select board mem- :

_ bers) be notified of all committee meetings? in writing well

in advance? ° .
Fifth, each committee rieeds terms of reference to define
" ls scope of. ‘responsibility; . OS

It ig essential that the board decide. these fine points of
pailiamentary procedure and write them Into a bylaw so*
that: they can be applied impartially | to all trustees.
