Open Meetings Act Training for Boards of Trustees for DC Public Charter Schools

On September 9, 2026, the Office of Open Government (OOG) presented “Open Meetings Act Training for Boards of Trustees for DC Public Charter Schools – Training Series II.” The training was facilitated by OOG’s Attorney Advisor Joan Lelma.  The session provided a description of OOG’s functions, recent amendments to the Open Meetings Act (OMA), and an in-depth examination of the application of the OMA to public bodies (in particular, Boards of Trustees for DC PCS), with a brief question and answer section which covered meeting procedures under the OMA.  

The PowerPoint presentation is accessible below.
