School boards would post meeting materials, stream meetings, and publicly approve out-of-state travel

School boards would hold meetings at a public facility in the district and give the public access to meeting materials and minutes. This applies to school district governing boards and their subcommittees. Materials presented at a board meeting must be posted online in the same way as meeting notices. Subcommittee materials and extra materials given to board members must be posted online or provided on request within five business days. Materials and minutes must stay available to the public for at least five years after the meeting.

School boards would provide a live video feed of each board meeting and keep video recordings online. This applies to districts with more than 250 students, and to smaller districts that have already streamed a regular board meeting. Recordings must stay available online for at least five years after the meeting.

Any board member could remove items from a consent agenda before the board votes on it. This applies to school boards that use a consent agenda, a bundle of items approved in one vote. The board must discuss and vote on each removed item separately. A member may remove items at any time before the board votes on the consent agenda.

A school board would approve each out-of-state trip by a majority roll call vote in a public meeting, after publicly sharing who is going, where they will stay, the cost, and the school purpose. This applies to out-of-state travel by superintendents, principals, their representatives, and board members and members-elect. The board must approve the trip before it happens whenever possible. If that is impossible, the trip must be brought to the board within 30 days after it happens. For a trip that already happened, the board must share the same details before voting, and may require travelers to repay the district if it does not approve. A traveler not named in the approved plan may replace a named one only if the superintendent tells the board in writing at the next regular meeting and costs do not go up. Approval after the trip must be requested within 30 days after the travel occurs.
