 It is understood that the members of the Unit Board have authority only when acting as a Unit Board in legal session.

The Unit Board exists as an entity only when it is in official session.  All business of the Unit Board will be conducted through its meetings. No committee of the board, member of the board or staff member of the ESU or LPS shall have the power to act for the Unit Board or to imply an action on the part of the Unit Board without specific approval authorized by the Unit Board at a lawful meeting with a record of such action in the minutes.

The Unit Board shall not be bound in any way by any action or statement on the part of any individual Unit Board member or committee of the Unit Board, except when such statement or action is in pursuance of specific, formal instructions from the Unit Board.
