What is the scope of the Attendance Tracker?

All regularly scheduled and stand-alone special board meetings* for which minutes are available from 2014 to 2016 have been coded for all currently sitting Board members.

* “Special Meeting” is an official designation for meetings that are not the twice monthly public Board meetings. Some of these special meetings are contained within a regular meeting – for instance, the Board might recess to “special meeting” for an hour to decide non-public business like expulsion hearings. In order to avoid double-penalizing a Board member for being absent, we are only counting attendance data for regular meetings and stand-alone special meetings.
