Bartlett School Board - Robert's Rules of Order

Bartlett School Board members Emily Calderwood (left) and Scott Grant disagreed on whether the board should change its 40-year-old “Rules of Order” policy. Calderwood voted with the majority of her colleagues to veer slightly away from following Robert’s Rules of Order verbatim, while Grant believes they should. (LLOYD JONES PHOTO)

BARTLETT — The Bartlett School Board has voted not to follow Robert’s Rules of Order during its meetings, and members believe that’s a good thing.

At its Jan. 3 meeting, in reviewing policies, the board made a significant adjustment to Policy BDDE “Rules of Order,” changing the policy that had been in place since March 22, 1982.
