Unless otherwise shown by the minutes, it shall be presumed that the vote of each member present supported any action taken by the board in either the exercise of, violation of, or neglect of the powers and duties imposed by the board by law or legal regulation, whether such action is recorded in the minutes or is otherwise established. It shall also be presumed that the policies, appointments, programs, and expenditures not recorded in the minutes but made and actually in effect in the district school system were made and put into effect at the direction of the school board, unless it can be shown that they were done without the actual or constructive knowledge of the members of the board. A Board Member's vote was an action, and her concern was a proceeding, and she wanted her concerns to be accurately conveyed in the minutes as they had been submitted to Mr. Watson. Mr. Ray said that he had read the statute himself just prior to this meeting and did not believe that the portion that she read, in any way, supported her position that discussion must, under the law, be included. He felt what she had read supported Roberts Rules of Order, and what appears in Board action, to go to action minutes.
Proceedings are things other than meetings, such as hearings.
Proceedings are not discussion of Board Members or discussions of citizens that address the Board. Mrs. Webb disagreed with Mr. Ray's interpretation and stated, again, that she wanted everything she had submitted to the secretary reflected in the minutes. Mr. Ray asked if that was a motion for an amendment. Dr. DeWitt said the motion on the floor was to approve the minutes that were submitted with the current meeting packet. As maker of the motion at the December meeting regarding the minutes, his intent was to table the revised minutes.
