35147
. (a) Except as specified in this section, any meeting of the
councils or committees specified in subdivision (b) is exempt from
the provisions of this article, the Bagley-Keene Open Meeting Act
(Article 9 (commencing with Section 11120) of Chapter 1 of Division 3
of Title 2 of the Government Code), and the Ralph M. Brown Act
(Chapter 9 (commencing with Section 54950) of Division 2 of Title 5
of the Government Code).
(b) The councils and schoolsite advisory committees established
pursuant to Sections 52012, 52065, 52176, and 52852, subdivision (b)
of Section 54425, Sections 54444.2, 54724, and 62002.5, and
committees formed pursuant to Section 11503 or Section 2604 of Title
25 of the United States Code, are subject to this section.
(c) Any meeting held by a council or committee specified in
subdivision (b) shall be open to the public and any member of the
public shall be able to address the council or committee during the
meeting on any item within the subject matter jurisdiction of the
council or committee. Notice of the meeting shall be posted at the
schoolsite, or other appropriate place accessible to the public, at
least 72 hours before the time set for the meeting. The notice shall
specify the date, time, and location of the meeting and contain an
agenda describing each item of business to be discussed or acted
upon. The council or committee may not take any action on any item of
business unless that item appeared on the posted agenda or unless
the council or committee members present, by unanimous vote, find
that there is a need to take immediate action and that the need for
action came to the attention of the council or committee subsequent
to the posting of the agenda. Questions or brief statements made at a
meeting by members of the council, committee, or public that do not
have a significant effect on pupils or employees in the school or
school district or that can be resolved solely by the provision of
information need not be described on an agenda as items of business.
If a council or committee violates the procedural meeting
requirements of this section and upon demand of any person, the
council or committee shall reconsider the item at its next meeting,
after allowing for public input on the item.
(d) Any materials provided to a schoolsite council shall be made
available to any member of the public who requests the materials
pursuant to the California Public Records Act (Chapter 3.5
(commencing with Section 6250) of Division 7 of Title 1).
