N.1. Approve Teleconference
In accordance with the New Jersey Department of Education Broadcast dated, March 5, 2020, the Holland Board of Education acknowledges that in the  event of a health related emergency closing of schools, business of the Board of  Education may still need to occur.  In this event where pressing  business of the Board is required such as renewal of staff, budget hearings, approval of bills payments, policies etc., a meeting through electronic means will be permitted. 
 
In accordance with the Open Public Meetings Act (OPMA), the following provisions will be implemented so that a meeting can occur during a health related emergency closing:

•Board of Education members will make every attempt to participate through a technology portal where they can be viewable for each other and members of the public. The Board of Education will accomplish this through online teleconference software where members of the public can call in as well as submit questions electronically.

•Notice of this meeting’s virtual location will be published through the traditional means and outlets as well as being noticed on the District website and in the Board of Education Office no less than 48 hours in advance. 

•The district will make every effort to post the agenda for the meeting no later than 24 hours in advance for review and reference by members of the public. The agenda will be placed on the district website. 

•Members of the public will be provided an opportunity to make comments on both agenda and non-agenda items.  These comments will be submitted through the WebEx Chat feature.  All comments will be read into the record by the Board of Education President or designee announcing both the member of the public and his/her address as is customary to provide with comments. In the event that additional information can be provided by a member of the Board of the Superintendent, it will be provided. 

•Under these circumstances, and only when a Board of Education meeting needs to be held under the circumstances described above, a recording of the meeting with video will be posted in the same way that the audio is posted for traditional, in-person meetings of the Board.  These recordings will not stand as the minutes, only the written record as approved will do so.

•Executive session will still be held in a second WebEx meeting open only to Board of Education members, the Board of Education Attorney, and members of the Central Office Administration.
 
Under no circumstances other than a health related emergency closing of schools, does the Board of Education approve of the electronic participation in a Board of Education meeting by any member, unless set forth in a separate Board Policy.
