The Board Development Video Series provides information and review on governance, compliance, and programmatic topics. These short-format videos are intended for viewing and follow-up discussion at your district board meeting, but everyone is also encouraged to view on their own time in whatever way is most convenient.
In the February installment of our 2025 Board Development video series, we take a brief look at the basics of the Sunshine Act: what it covers, what it requires, and the importance of having a policy for public comment at board meetings.
