About this listen
In this episode, we explore why Robert’s Rules of Order remain one of the most effective tools for running structured, fair, and efficient board meetings. Originally published in 1876, this system of parliamentary procedure helps charter school boards stay focused, transparent, and compliant with Utah’s Open and Public Meetings Act.
We’ll cover:
- How Robert’s Rules support orderly discussion and decision-making
- The role of the Chair in guiding meetings and maintaining decorum
- What motions, seconds, amendments, and votes look like in practice
- Helpful tools like “Point of Information,” “Call the Question,” and “Orders of the Day”
- How Robert’s Rules align with public notice and agenda requirements under OPMA
- Tips for smaller boards and common-sense corrections when things go off track
Whether you’re new to board service or just need a refresher, this episode will help you understand how Robert’s Rules create clarity, fairness, and accountability in every meeting.
