Public Sector Town Hall: Open Meetings Under Pressure

Whether a new development project or change in school practices sparks controversy, the Board must be ready for the packed meeting, antagonism, and strange scrutiny of agendas. Some of the activity is anticipated and respectful, while some behavior is aggressive and designed to overwhelm. Recent news shows notable incidents of municipal and school district governmental bodies dealing with challenging situations involving vitriolic public comment, rowdy interruption, degradation of decorum, threats, and law enforcement removing individuals from the meeting room. So what are the practical and legal issues that administration and elected officials need to know in order to prepare for and manage these potentially chaotic situations? Join our Attorneys for this Town Hall focusing on meetings that stay orderly, lawful, and properly noticed when emotions are high.
