In all matters not covered by policies of the Lincoln Board of Education or by statute, parliamentary procedures are governed by Robert’s Rules of Order, latest edition, except as to minutes, adjournment or as otherwise required by statute, all procedures and actions shall require a proper motion, second and passage by majority roll call vote of the Board permitting and approving same. The President, or meeting chair, shall decide all questions of procedure and order, subject to an appeal to the Board.
Every member must vote on all matters. Board members are required to abstain in the case of possible conflict of interest. The roll shall be called and votes recorded for or against each motion. The order of calling the roll shall be serially rotated. The requirements of a roll call or viva voce vote may be satisfied by use of an electronic voting device which allows the yeas and nays of each member of the Board to be readily seen by the public.
A majority vote of those present constitutes a successful vote except where state statutes or Board bylaws specify otherwise.
