Commissioners, thanks for trying to be accomodating (Updated)

Traditionally, the Commission and the School Board would hold their meetings two Mondays a month.  Unfortunately, both would meet on the same evening once a month.  In 2011, our Commissioners moved their meetings to the second Tuesday and the fourth Monday, to avoid conflicting meetings.  Or so we thought.  This month, the School Board is having three Monday meetings, with the reconvened meeting conflicting with the Mt.Lebanon Adjourned Commission meeting scheduled for February 28.  The following email exchange pretty much sets the tone.

Mrs. Gillen,

No.

For the Board,

Josephine Posti
President
Mt. Lebanon School Board

Subject: Reconvened meeting????

Ms. Posti,
I was just posting the agenda for Monday's School Board meeting on lebocitizens.com and noticed that there is a School Board reconvened meeting scheduled on February 28, 2011.  That conflicts with the Commission meeting.  They moved their meetings to Tuesday evenings to avoid conflicts with School Board meetings.  Would you be able to reschedule your reconvened meeting so that it does not conflict with the Commission meeting on February 28?

Updated February 20, 2011 The agenda for tomorrow's meeting is here. Agenda for 2/21/11 meeting How can item 14 announce a reconvened meeting when number 15 on the agenda is Adjournment?  Robert's Rules of Order state when a meeting is adjourned, it is over.  Tomorrow's meeting is very important.  How can they announce a reconvened meeting when in fact, the regular meeting hasn't even occurred (convened)? This sounds unethical to me.
