January brings new year’s resolutions, bowl games and (for school districts) organizational meetings. Everyone loves a checklist, so here it is: your handy-dandy organizational meeting checklist!
Timing:
_____ City, local, and exempted village boards of education must meet before January 15.
_____ Joint vocational boards of education and educational service center governing boards must meet before January 31.
Presiding officer:
This week is Sunshine Week, which is a national initiative to educate the public about the importance of open government.
The June issue of Journal, OSBA’s award-winning magazine, features an entire section on hot topics for school districts. The articles, written by six members of the Ohio Council of School Board Attorneys (OCSBA), discuss five topics of critical interest to Ohio school board members and administrators.
OSBA’s Division of Legal Services always is looking for ways to provide our members with new and useful resources. We’ve been hard at work during the first half of 2018 updating existing resources, creating new ones and planning workshops to provide members with the latest and greatest school law-related information.
