§ 20-26-4-3 — Regular, statutory, and special meetings

(a) Regular meetings must be held by each
governing body at a time and place established by resolution of the
board or may be incorporated in the rules provided in IC 20-26-5-4. A
notice need not be given a member for holding or taking any action at
a regular meeting.
(b) If a meeting is held according to a procedure set forth by statute
or rule and if publication of notice of the meeting is required, notice of
the meeting is not required and need not be given a member for holding
or taking any action at the meeting contemplated by the notice. The
meeting must be held at the time and place specified in the published
notice.
(c) Special meetings of a governing body must be held on call by the
governing body's president or by the superintendent of the school
corporation. The call must be evidenced by a written notice specifying
the date, time, and place of the meeting, delivered to each member
personally or sent by mail or telegram so that each member has at least
seventy-two (72) hours notice of the special meeting. Special meetings
must be held at the regular meeting place of the board.
(d) All meetings of a governing body must be open to the public to
the extent required by IC 5-14-1.5. The governing body shall comply
with IC 5-14-1.5.
(e) If notice of a meeting is required and each member of a
governing body has waived notice of the meeting, as provided in this
subsection, notice of the meeting is not necessary. Waiver of notice of
a meeting by a member consists of the following:
(1) The member's presence at the meeting.
(2) The member's execution of a written notice waiving the date,
time, and place of the meeting, executed either before or after the
meeting. If a waiver specifies that the waiver was executed before
the meeting, third persons are entitled to rely on the statement.
(f) At a meeting of the governing body, a majority of the members
constitutes a quorum. Action may not be taken unless a quorum is
present. Except where a larger vote is required by statute or rule with
respect to any matter, a majority of the members present may adopt a
resolution or take any action.
(g) All meetings of the governing body for the conduct of business
must be held within the school corporation, except as follows:
(1) Meetings may be held at the administrative offices of the
school corporation if the offices are outside the geographic limits
of the school corporation but are within a county where all or a
part of the school corporation is located.
(2) Meetings may be held at a place where the statute or rule
according to which a statutory meeting is held permits meeting
outside the school corporation, as may occur when the meeting is
held jointly with another governing body.
(h) A governing body may hold up to two (2) training sessions each
year outside the school corporation. The sessions may be conducted as
executive sessions under IC 5-14-1.5.
