Special meetings may, from time to time, be called as permitted by state law. Special meetings shall be convened by order of the chairperson of the board or upon the request of four (4) board members at least twenty-four (24) hours before such meeting is to be held, or by common consent of the board members. Notice of any special meeting shall be given to the members pursuant to Board Policy.

Board Policies are adopted by the Lane Community College Board of Education and establish the College’s governing principles and institutional direction. These policies are reviewed by the Board at least every five years or more often as needed. Board Policies are distinct from College Operating Policies and Procedures (COPPS), which provide operational guidance and are developed through governance processes and by responsible managers.
