SCHOOL BOARD COMMITTEES

 

 

The President, with LaSalle Parish School Board approval, shall authorize the creation of standing School Board committees, to be charged with deliberations of certain issues as deemed necessary.  Such committees shall be composed of members of the School Board whose chairperson shall be appointed by the President, and the President shall be given the option to change committee membership.

 

The LaSalle Parish School Board shall have four (4) standing committees, as follows:

 

  1. Finance Committee

  2. Transportation Committee

  3. Education Committee

  4. Construction/Maintenance Committee

 

Standing committees of the School Board shall be scheduled periodically, provided that the President, Superintendent, or committee chairpersons have the authority to call special meetings should the need arise.  If a member of a specific committee is unable to attend a committee meeting, a member of the Construction/Maintenance Committee may be appointed to fill the vacancy.  This appointment will be made by the School Board President or the School Board President’s designee.

 

Other special committees may from time to time be appointed by the School Board to study specific issues.  The membership of any special committees need not be restricted to members of the School Board, but shall include such persons who may have knowledge or interest in the subject studied.

 

COMMITTEE MEETINGS

 

The agenda, time and date of committee meetings shall be tentatively set by the committee chairperson, pending discussion with and approval by both the Superintendent and School Board President of any proposed agenda items and meeting date.  Once approved, the committee chairperson shall be notified prior to notification of other members.

 

All committee meetings shall be open to the public, except in those instances allowed as provided by state law.  A majority of the committee membership shall constitute a quorum for purposes of making recommendations or taking any action that has been previously authorized.
