Policy 8820 – Quorum

The School Board can legally transact business and take legally binding action only when a quorum (majority of the total membership) of the School Board is present at the start of and through a meeting. The only business that can be transacted in the absence of a quorum is to take measures to obtain a quorum, to fix the time to which to adjourn, or to take a recess.
