		The Board is considering adopting a policy of placing all members of the public who enter the Board's buildings to attend an open meeting of the Board in a room that is physically separate from the meeting room.
		The contemplated Board action of providing for observation of the meeting in a separate room would be inconsistent with this open-meeting requirement only if the italicized language requires the Board to allow members of the public to enter the actual meeting room and observe the meeting there.
