What if we have the team building session scheduled and at the last minute one of the board members can attend? Can we still count the session as meeting the requirement?
The rule says that all board members plus the superintendent must participate in the team building session. The board must make a good faith effort to comply with this provision. If unforeseen circumstances prohibit a member from attending and if rescheduling would be difficult or costly, the board should proceed with the session and later work with the absent board member to ensure he or she is fully briefed on what transpired in the session. The board should be sure to document this briefing.
