Frequently Asked Questions
JCCC's Board of Trustees abides by the Kansas Open Meeting Acts (KOMA), KSA 75-4317 et seq. Therefore, Board of Trustees meetings are open to the public. Only executive sessions are closed.
The Board may call an executive session, which is open only to the elected members of the Board of Trustees. Others, such as college counsel, may attend an executive session by invitation. The Trustees may go into executive session for these reasons:
- To discuss personnel matters concerning non-elected personnel
- To consult with the College's attorney
- To confer on employer-employee negotiation
- To discuss matters affecting a student
- For preliminary discussions relating to the acquisition of real property
- For reasons of security, if open discussion would jeopardize security
The Open Forum section of the Board agenda is a time for members of the community to provide comments to the Board. There will be one Open Forum period during each regularly scheduled Board meeting. Comments are limited to 5 minutes unless a significant number of people plan to speak. In that instance the Chair may limit a person’s comments to less than 5 minutes.
In order to be recognized, individuals must register at the door 15 minutes prior to each regularly scheduled Board meeting.
When addressing the Board, registered speakers are asked to remain at the podium, should be respectful and civil, and are encouraged to address individual personnel or student matters directly with the appropriate college department. As a practice, the college does not respond in this setting when the matter concerns personnel or student issues or matters that are being addressed through our established grievance or suggestion processes or are otherwise the subject of review by the college or Board.
No. After you've signed in, you may simply take a seat in the meeting room (usually the Hugh W. Speer Board Room, GEB 137). Board packets, which tell you what will be discussed at the regular monthly meeting, are available online.
The meeting dates are posted online. Meetings usually begin at 5 p.m. (those that start at a different time are noted by an asterisk) and take place in the Hugh W. Speer Board Room, GEB 137, on the JCCC campus. The dates and times of regular meetings may be changed by the majority consent of the Board of Trustees.
The Board may also call special meetings in between the regular monthly meetings and set times for workshops and retreats. Special meeting dates and times are posted on the online event calendar. Changes to meeting times and the dates and times of special meetings, workshops and retreats will be posted. The media is also notified of meeting times and dates.Standing Committees - Roles and Responsibilities
