SB 967 Michigan Senate · 2023-2024 Regular Session

Education: board members; requirement to publicly post names of school board members; provide for. Amends 1976 PA 451 (MCL 380.1 - 380.1852) by adding sec. 1202b.

This bill requires school districts and their governing boards to publicly display the names and contact details of all board members on their websites. The law mandates that each member's listing include an email address or contact form, a mailing address, and a telephone number, with updates to this information required within 30 days of any changes. Districts may also comply by linking to a separate governing body website if it already contains the necessary contact information and is kept current. This measure applies to school districts, intermediate school districts, and public school academies to increase transparency and accessibility for community members seeking to contact board officials.
