Description:  The school board meeting is a meeting in the public, not a public meeting.  Nicollet School Board Policy provides that persons who wish to have a subject discussed at a public school board meeting are encouraged to notify the superintendent’s office in advance of the school board meeting.  The school board chair will recognize one speaker at a time and will rule out of order other speakers who are not recognized, violations of data privacy, or inappropriate comments.

Description: 

1. School board members have completed the MSBA School Board Self Evaluation (SBSE).  MSBA is compiling the overview report which will be forwarded to school board members.  The school board will review the report at their November 8^th meeting.

6. The attached election resolution is recommended for board approval by Nicollet County to simplify the counting of ballots for write in candidates.  The resolution provides that certified totals for write in candidates will only be tallied if their individual votes for the contest is greater than or equal to the fewest number of votes cast for a non-write- in candidate.  The resolution was approved by other Nicollet County municipalities.
