N.Y. Education Law § 1606: Mode of exercise of trustees' powers

§ 1606. Mode of exercise of trustees' powers. 1. The powers committed

by law to the trustees of a common school district must be exercised by

them as a board. The board must meet for the transaction of business in

accordance with notice of time and place.

2. In a board composed of three trustees, when two only meet to

deliberate upon any matter, and the third, if notified, does not attend,

or the three meet and deliberate thereon, the conclusion of two upon the

matter, and their order, act or proceeding in relation thereto, shall be

as valid as though it were the conclusion, order, act or proceeding of

the three; and a recital of the two in their minute of the conclusion,

act or proceeding, or in their order, act or proceeding of the fact of

such notice, or of such meeting and deliberation, shall be conclusive

evidence thereof.

3. A meeting of the board may be ordered by any member thereof, by

giving not less than twenty-four hours' notice of the same.
