In today’s Legal Ledger Sidebar, Sara Clark and John Price discuss committees and subcommittees, which is a topic that comes up frequently for our members. Specifically, they discuss when committees are required to comply with the Open Meetings Act and what that means.
OSBA maintains several resources on this topic for those who may need more information on this topic:
2022 School Management News article “Establishing and using committees in the district”
Sunshine Laws for Schools (available for purchase)
Members who have general questions about using committees and subcommittees are welcome to contact the legal division using the legal hotline at (855) OSBA-LAW. Specific questions about committees should be directed to your district’s legal counsel.
If you have comments or suggestions for future Legal Ledger Sidebars, feel free to contact anyone in the legal division.
