Sections 2.02 and 2.03 of the Open Meetings Act. No official business
shall be transacted by the directors except at a regular or a special

of school directors under subsection (c) of Section 10-4, 4 directors shall
constitute a
quorum for the transaction of business. In all other districts 2
directors shall constitute a quorum for
the transaction of business. If the president or clerk is absent from
any meeting or refuses to perform his duties, a president or clerk pro
tempore shall be appointed. At each regular and special meeting which
is open to the public, members of the public and employees of the district
shall be afforded time, subject to reasonable constraints, to comment to
or ask questions of the board. When the president or district superintendent
of schools receives a written correspondence from a resident within the
school district's territory, requesting the consideration of a matter before
the board, the author of the correspondence shall receive a formal written
statement from an appointed official of the board stating the board's position
on their request, no later than 60 days from the receipt of the correspondence
by the president or district superintendent of schools. The formal written
response from the board shall establish a meeting before the board or list
the reasons for denying the request.
