A gathering of a majority of Board members in which deliberation of an issue within the jurisdiction of the Board takes place is a Board meeting. A gathering for the purpose of social or ministerial action will not constitute a Board meeting unless a discussion of policy takes place. Meetings of the Board will be conducted in an open meeting unless a closed session is authorized by law or the meeting is exempt from the open meetings law.
