RULES OF ORDER
It is the desire of the Board that meetings shall be formal enough for orderly procedure but
informal enough to be natural and to encourage free discussion and to promote group thinking
and action.
Meetings of the Hooksett School Board will be conducted in a manner which is consistent with
common courtesy and respect. School Board meetings will be conducted in accordance with the
following guiding principles:
1. Individual board members, administration and staff will not speak until
recognized by the Chair.
2. All members and attendees will refrain from separate and private
conversations while an individual has the floor.
3. Robert’s Rules of Order will be implemented when motions are necessary.
