Open Meetings Act Reminder: For those boards that choose to attend IASB’s online training together in-person or virtually, a reminder that the Open Meetings Act (5 ILCS 120/) requires school boards to discuss district business only at properly noticed board meetings. Other than during a properly noticed board meeting, a majority or more of a Board-quorum may not engage in contemporaneous interactive communication to discuss district business during any training or other event, whether in person or electronically.
