[BBAA: Board Member Authority/ BBA-R]

All powers of the Board of School Committee lie in its action as a corporate body. Individual Board members may not exercise authority over District affairs.

An individual Board member, including the chairperson, has power only when the Board, by vote, has delegated authority to him or her.

No legal action can be taken except at an advanced-notice meeting of the Board and by a quorum acting as a unit.

The decisions of the Board shall be binding until rescinded by the Board at a duly called regular or special meeting.
