The Nebraska Association of School Boards (NASB) is offering one of the most sought-after workshops in June 2013. This workshop is so popular because all political sub-divisions must abide by the Open Meetings Law. NASB Executive Director John Spatz and Legal Counsel Megan Neiles Brasch will conduct the Open Meetings Law Workshops. This legal team will provide information regarding agenda, notice, minutes, closed session, special meeting, emergency meeting, public comment and criminal liability in addition to answering questions from the attendees.
