RULES OF ORDER

It is the desire of the Board that meetings shall be formal enough for orderly procedure but informal enough to be natural and to encourage free discussion and to promote group thinking and action.

Meetings of the Candia School Board will be conducted in a manner which is consistent with common courtesy and respect. School Board meetings will be conducted in accordance with the following guiding principles:
1. Individual board members, members of the public, and administration and staff will not speak until recognized by the Chair.
2. All members and attendees will refrain from separate and private conversations while an individual has the floor.
3. Robert’s Rules of Order may be used as a guide when motions are necessary.
