Ohio Administrative Code|Rule 3357:15-11-04 | Meetings.

                                                
The board of trustees will normally meet once a
		month throughout the calendar year. If there is no pressing business to
		transact, any regular meeting may be omitted by the board chair with common
		consent of the majority of the board members. 
(A) Regular meetings. The regular meetings of the board of
		  trustees shall be determined for the year at the annual organizational meeting.
		  The date, time, and place of regular meetings shall be designated at that time.
		  The chair may change any date, time, and/or place of any regular meeting by
		  giving a three-day written notice to each member of the board; or board members
		  may make such change by agreement at the prior regular meeting and give a
		  three-day written notice to each board member absent at such prior regular
		  meeting.
(B) Special meetings. Special meetings may be called by the
		  chair or at the request of no less than three members of the board of trustees.
		  Written notice of such special meetings, stating the time and place of such
		  meeting and purpose or purposes for which the same is called, must be given to
		  each member at least three days prior to the date of said meeting. Any trustee
		  may waive such notice and, by attendance at any special meeting, shall be
		  deemed to have waived notice thereof. 
Any representative of the news media may obtain
		  notice of all special meetings by requesting in writing that such notice be
		  provided. A request for such notification shall be addressed to: "Office of the
		  President, Stark State College, 6200 Frank Avenue, NW, North Canton, Ohio
		  44720." The request shall provide the name of the individual media
		  representative to be contacted, the mailing address, and the telephone
		  number(s). The college shall maintain a list of all representatives of the news
		  media who have requested notice of special meetings pursuant to this section.
		  In the event of a special meeting not of an emergency nature, the college shall
		  notify all media representatives on list of such meeting by doing at least one
		  of the following:
(1) Posting special meeting notification and agenda on
			 college web site.
(2) Sending a written notice, which must be mailed no later
			 than three calendar days prior to the day of the special meeting.
(3) Notifying such representatives by telephone no later
			 than twenty-four hours prior to the special meeting. Such telephone notice
			 shall be considered complete if a message is left for the representative, or
			 if, after reasonable effort, the college has been unable to provide such
			 telephone notice.
(4) In the event of a special meeting of an emergency
			 nature, the college shall notify all media representatives on the list of such
			 meeting by providing either a written notice or a telephone notice as described
			 above. In such event, however, the notice need not be given twenty-four hours
			 prior to the meeting, but shall be given as soon as possible.
(5) In giving the notices required by this paragraph, the
			 college may rely on assistance provided by any member of the college staff, and
			 such notices shall be considered complete if given by such member in the manner
			 provided herein.
(C) Open meetings. All meetings of the board of trustees
		  shall be open to the public. In keeping with division (F) of section 121.22 of
		  the Revised Code, any person may be informed of the time and place of all
		  regularly scheduled meetings and the time, place, and purpose of all special
		  meetings by:
(1) Information on College web site, including board
			 meeting dates, agenda and minutes.
(2) Writing to the following address: "Stark State College,
			 6200 Frank Avenue, NW, North Canton, Ohio 44720."
(3) Calling the following telephone number during normal
			 business hours: (330) 494-6170.
(D) Any person wishing to utilize recording and/or
		  transmission devices at a public session of a board of trustees meeting shall
		  do so from a recording area designated by the board chair and identified by
		  prominent signage. The board chair may limit the number of persons recording
		  and/or transmitting during the meeting due to space limitations. Any person
		  recording and/or transmitting a public session of a board of trustees meeting
		  must do so at their own expense without use of college equipment. If at any
		  time the board chair feels the recording and/or transmitting of the public
		  session is a disruption of the proceedings, any such person shall be directed
		  by the board chair to stop.
