Preston County Board of Education
Policy 1-24 - Location of Board Meetings

SCHOOL BOARD
BYLAWS AND ORGANIZATION

The statutory, regular and special meetings of the Preston County Board of Education shall be held at Preston High School, Kingwood, West Virginia, except as otherwise provided by Board action.

From time to time it is necessary for the Board to meet at other locations for such purposes as to visit schools, view property for sale or purchase or meet jointly with other pubic bodies. In these cases, the Board shall not take any formal action until they return to their regular meeting place and they shall convene and/or adjourn any such meeting from the regular meeting place. A member of the Board's staff shall remain at the Board's regular meeting place during their absence to inform the public of the Board's whereabouts.

In their efforts to inform the public of the Board's operation, the Board may from time to time choose to hold a regular Board meeting at a location other than the Preston High School. Any such change in the location of a Board meeting shall be ordered by a resolution adopted by the Board in regular session at least thirty (30) days prior to the date of meeting. The location of the meeting shall be announced by appropriate releases to the news media, by notice carried in both county newspapers during the two weeks preceding the meeting and by posting on the door of Preston High School at least three (3) days preceding the meeting.

ADOPTED: January 24,1983; August 9,1999
