A majority of the elected policy-setting LB School Board can implement greater protections if it wishes. The School board's next scheduled meeting is August 18 (preceded by an Aug. 17-18 workshop) with agendas not yet available. The Brown Act allows a school board majority to schedule a special meeting on 24 hours notice to discuss and/or take action on an individual item. CA Govt Code (Brown Act) 54956(a) states in pertinent part: "A special meeting may be called at any time by the presiding officer of the legislative body of a local agency, or by a majority of the members of the legislative body...The call and notice shall specify the time and place of the special meeting and the business to be transacted or discussed. No other business shall be considered at these meetings by the legislative body..."
