Motions that Bring a Question Again

AgendasAgendas are listings or guides of what will

be discussed, what the members and attending public can expect to happen at the meeting (topics, etc.)

Just as YOUR school agenda SHOULD control how and what you will and should do – so too does the Agenda for a meeting!

Content by Jennifer Gray

A Few QuestionsIs it in order? (Does it relate to the part of

the agenda we are on at that time?)May I interrupt the speaker? There are

times when it is ok because the motion is so important to the matter.

Do I need a second? Usually YESIs it debatable? You have the right to

debate most motions.

Content by Jennifer Gray

A Few More Questions!

Can it be Amended? Some motions can be changed by striking out or inserting words.

What vote is needed? Majority most times. (2/3 vote when it concerns your rights)

Can it be reconsidered? Some motions can be debated again to give members a chance to change their minds. The motion to reconsider has to come from the winning side.

Content by Jennifer Gray

How do I present My Motion?1. Obtain the floor. Wait your turn,

rise, say “Mr. (or Madam) President, then you give your name. Then the president recognizes you by repeating it.

2. Make your Motion stay on subject, avoid personal attacks, keep it positive – I motion we DO this (rather than using DO NOT)

3. Wait for your second (Another member says “I second that motion.”)

How Do I Present My Motion4. The chair (president) states your motion

and says (“It is moved and seconded that we…..) If there is no second your motion will not be voted on or considered.

5. You can expand your motion.6. The Chair Poses the question.
