What is required for official action by the State Board?

Official action by the State Board typically requires a majority vote of the quorum. This means that decisions made during meetings are based on the votes of those members who are present and participating, provided that enough members are present to meet the established quorum requirement. This process allows for efficient governance and decision-making, ensuring that a sufficient number of board members are involved in discussions and votes, thereby representing the collective interests of the board.

In many cases, requiring a simple majority of those present facilitates timely decision-making while ensuring that there is a substantial level of support for any actions taken. This approach balances the need for thorough discussion and consideration of actions with the realistic constraints of meeting attendance and participation.

Understanding quorum and majority voting is crucial for ensuring that decisions are valid and reflect the views of the board as a whole.
