A heart was returned and South
was forced to win the trick with the

Open Board Meetings.

The Board of Education is to be
congratulated upon its decision to do
away with a practice which in effect
has meant secret transaction Of much
of its important business in the past
Board meetings should be open. They
have been open in the past to the ex-
tent Of possibly technical compliance
with provisions of the organic law of
1906, which requires that The organ
ization meeting and all the meetings
whatsoever thereafter shall be open to
the public except committee meetings
dealing with the appointment of
teachers" But in practice, the i'm
portant meetings of the board have
been held in the Office of the super
intendent Of schools, in the guise of
committee meetings or meetings of the
committee of the whole, at which sub
jects to come before the full, open
meeting of the board have been dis
cuSsed in advance.
There is coupled with this change
in practice another innovation that
will win public Endorsement, which is
the publication in advance of board
meetings Of the agenda or subjects
which are to come before the board
This will enable citizens who are in
terested in particular subjects to ap-
pear before the board and present
their views. Portions Of the superin-
tendent's report in the past have been
submitted to the board in committee
meetings just prior to the formal, open
meeting. Now the full report will be
mailed several days in advance to
members Of the board for their in
formation and study.
With the possible exception of GER
tain matters relating to school per-
sonnel, there are no subjects involving
school policy which need be discussed
in secret. The tax-paying public has
a real and vital interest in school af-
fairs and is entitled to full participa-
ton in the transaction of business
between the superintendent and the
board. The budget and other regu-
lations regarding secrecy of estimates
and the secrecy already surrounding
congressional committee hearings on
appropriations act to keep the public
generally uniformed regarding the
school system. Really open meetings
of the board should become a part of
the effort now taking shape to i'm
prove wretched conditions in the
schools caused by a lack of sufficient
appropriations.
