New July meeting schedule for New York school boards

School boards in union free and small city districts must hold their yearly organizational meeting in July, on or before the Monday after July 20. The meeting is at 4:00 PM, or another time the board sets. At this meeting, the board picks a president for one year and may also name a vice-president. Newly elected members convene on the first business day in July, unless another date is chosen under section 2504. Boards must also set a regular monthly meeting day and a way to call special meetings. The law repeals older scheduling rules, including subdivision 2 of section 1707 and section 1904. These changes take effect immediately.
