Parents, please consider serving on the School Community Council. Parents act as the primary advocates for all children. By working as a group and understanding the legal responsibilities that lie with the principal, parents ensure the representation of achievement and student progress. Parents make up at least a two person majority of a school community council and are often the driving force.

Parents will serve as chair and vice-chair in at least one of the co-chair positions. It is important that parents on the council understand the responsibilities of the council and are able to collaborate well with the other members of the council to affect meaningful school improvement for all children. Parents-Checklist

Council Members

Council Members are chosen by election and are a mixture of school staff and community members. Candidacy and election procedures begin before each school year.

 

Invitation to serve on the council: We warmly invite parents to serve on our school's community council. Information about council vacancies, declarations of candidacy forms, and elections are emailed sent out in August of each year.

Contact information for council members can be requested by contacting the School's Principal.
You can also send a message to any council member in care of a message sent to the School's Principal.

Rules of Order and Procedure

  • Council members will receive training to understand the responsibilities of the council. Council members receive training before preparing and taking action on School LAND Trust Plans and reports.
  • All meetings are open to the public and the public is welcome to attend. (required)
  • The agenda of each upcoming meeting, with draft minutes of the prior meeting, will be made available to all council members at least one week in advance, and will be posted on the school website. The agenda will include the date, time, and location of the meeting, and any proposed action items.
  • Written minutes will be kept of all meetings, prepared in draft format for approval at the next scheduled meeting.
  • Approved minutes will be retained for three years.
  • The chair conducts the meetings (required), makes assignments and requests reports on assignments. In the absence of the chair the vice-chair shall conduct meetings.
  • The council must have a quorum to vote. A quorum is a majority of council members.
  • Meetings shall be conducted and action taken according to very simplified rules of parliamentary procedure as required in 53G-7-1203(10). Council actions will be taken by motions and voting with votes and motions recorded in the minutes. These rules of parliamentary procedure can be found in the district community council handbook.
  • The council consists of the principal,  6 school employee(s) who is/are elected in even years,  6 school employee(s) who is/are elected in odd years, and  6 parent / guardian member(s) who is/are elected in even years,  4 parent / guardian member(s) who is/are elected in odd years.  (Size of the council MUST BE ADOPTED BY VOTE OF THE COUNCIL and consistent with 53G-7-1202. Elections are required to be staggered with half of the council elected each year.)
  • In order to ensure that a quorum can be present, the following process shall be in place to remove and replace a member, as needed: If a member misses three meetings in a row, they may be excused from participation and replaced. The member will be invited to resign as a voting member, and the group that elected them can appoint a replacement. If there is no alternate available, the council can seek out parents or school employees to fill the position.
