Bylaws, Plans & Policies
*The Minnesota Legislature recently (2024) revised the law to require Charter School Bylaws to reflect that: “The terms of board members shall begin on July 1. Terms shall be no less than two years. The bylaws shall set the number of terms an individual may serve on the board and as an officer of the board. Board elections must be held during the school year but may not be conducted on days when the school is closed.” Also a school must post notice of elections on its Website.
Bylaw Amendment Procedure
Because these required changes affect the school's Governance model, the Amendments require a different approval process: 1. The Board Chair Notices a Meeting to Change the Governance model (at least 30 days prior to the meeting); 2. In order to have a quorum to vote, a majority of all licensed teachers employed and a majority of Board members—not just those who can show up—is required; 3. Formal Approval of the Authorizer.
The Legislature dictates the changes but still requires the vote outlined above.
