What to know

Since Sept 2025 (SB 413) every school district must record meetings and post minutes and votes online within 7 days; larger cities and counties must post video.

Local charters, ordinances and board bylaws often require more notice than state law. When they do, follow the stricter rule — in CivicPorch you can set a board's own notice period and reminders use it.

Work out a deadline

This is general information, not legal advice. Statutes have exceptions (emergencies, recessed meetings, holidays) — check with your solicitor or municipal attorney when in doubt.
