HOW CAN I SERVE?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">School Community Councils are elected parent\/guardian and employee representatives who work together with the principal to increase student achievement. By law the Council is responsible to review school data and develop plans for school improvement. Councils also allocate the LAND Trust funds to assist the school in reaching achievement goals. Please see the Granite School District web page for more information regarding the roles and responsibilities of Community Councils (www.graniteschools.org).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Parents elect parent representatives and employees elect employees for two-year terms. To be eligible, a parent must have a student enrolled in the school for at least one of the years and may not be employed by the school for more than an average of six hours per week per month. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We invite you to become involved in your school\u2019s Community Council by declaring your candidacy. Please print and fill out this form if you are interested in running for a position on our school community council. Candidacy forms are sent out school wide each spring. Elections are held in August.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\n      <nav id=\"top\" class=\"gsdscc-toc border border-1 primary-color-border rounded mb-4\" aria-labelledby=\"gsdscc-toc-heading\">\n        <h2 id=\"gsdscc-toc-heading\" class=\"gsdscc-toc-heading mb-0\">\n          <button type=\"button\" class=\"gsdscc-toc-toggle primary-color-bg primary-color-bg-dark-hover text-white p-3\" aria-controls=\"gsdscc-toc-list\" aria-expanded=\"true\">\n            On this page\n          <\/button>\n        <\/h2>\n        <ul id=\"gsdscc-toc-list\" class=\"gsdscc-toc-list row row-cols-1 row-cols-sm-2 row-cols-lg-4 g-3 list-unstyled p-3 mb-0\">\n          <li class=\"col\">\n            <a class=\"gsdscc-toc-link secondary-color-bg secondary-color-bg-dark-hover text-white\" href=\"#schedule-agenda\">\n              <i class=\"fal fa-calendar\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>\n              <span>Meeting Schedule<\/span>\n            <\/a>\n          <\/li>\n          <li class=\"col\">\n            <a class=\"gsdscc-toc-link secondary-color-bg secondary-color-bg-dark-hover text-white\" href=\"#council-members\">\n              <i class=\"fal fa-users\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>\n              <span>Council Members<\/span>\n            <\/a>\n          <\/li>\n          <li class=\"col\">\n            <a class=\"gsdscc-toc-link secondary-color-bg secondary-color-bg-dark-hover text-white\" href=\"#land-trust\">\n              <i class=\"fal fa-seedling\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>\n              <span>LAND Trust<\/span>\n            <\/a>\n          <\/li>\n          <li class=\"col\">\n            <a class=\"gsdscc-toc-link secondary-color-bg secondary-color-bg-dark-hover text-white\" href=\"#rules-of-procedure\">\n              <i class=\"fal fa-gavel\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>\n              <span>Rules of Order and Procedure<\/span>\n            <\/a>\n          <\/li>\n          <li class=\"col\">\n            <a class=\"gsdscc-toc-link secondary-color-bg secondary-color-bg-dark-hover text-white\" href=\"#handbook\">\n              <i class=\"fal fa-book\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>\n              <span>School Community Council Handbook<\/span>\n            <\/a>\n          <\/li>\n          <li class=\"col\">\n            <a class=\"gsdscc-toc-link secondary-color-bg secondary-color-bg-dark-hover text-white\" href=\"#teacher-student-plan\">\n              <i class=\"fal fa-graduation-cap\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>\n              <span>Teacher and Student Success Plan<\/span>\n            <\/a>\n          <\/li>\n          <li class=\"col\">\n            <a class=\"gsdscc-toc-link secondary-color-bg secondary-color-bg-dark-hover text-white\" href=\"#elections\">\n              <i class=\"fal fa-vote-yea\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>\n              <span>Elections<\/span>\n            <\/a>\n          <\/li>\n          <li class=\"col\">\n            <a class=\"gsdscc-toc-link secondary-color-bg secondary-color-bg-dark-hover text-white\" href=\"#archives\">\n              <i class=\"fal fa-folder-open\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>\n              <span>Meeting Archives<\/span>\n            <\/a>\n          <\/li>\n        <\/ul>\n      <\/nav>\n      <p>Welcome to our schools Community Council.

A motion must be stated clearly.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Second:<\/strong> Another council member must indicate their support for the motion to allow it to be discussed and voted upon.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Discussion:<\/strong> Once a motion is seconded, council members can offer their input and opinions when recognized by the chair.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Voting:<\/strong> After discussion, the chair will call for a vote on the motion. The outcome depends on the type of motion and the required majority.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Calling the previous question:<\/strong> A member can make a motion to end the discussion on the current motion by saying, \u201cI move the previous question.\u201d This requires a second and a two-thirds vote to pass. If it passes, the council immediately votes on the original motion without further discussion. If it fails, the council continues discussing the original motion.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Tie vote:<\/strong> A vote that results in an equal number of votes for and against the motion is considered a lost vote.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Main motion:<\/strong> The primary type of motion used to introduce new business or ideas. Main motions can be debated and amended.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Amend a motion:<\/strong> A motion to change the wording or details of the main motion. Amendments require a second, are debatable, and require a majority vote.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Point of order:<\/strong> A member raises a point of order if they believe a procedural error has occurred during the meeting. The chair will rule on whether the point is valid.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Reconsider:<\/strong> A motion to bring back a previously decided motion for further discussion and another vote. This motion can only be made by a member who voted on the winning side of the original motion, and requires a second and a majority vote.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Withdrawal of motion:<\/strong> The person who originally made a motion can ask to withdraw it before a vote is taken. This does not require a second or debate and is usually granted by the chair.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Close nominations:<\/strong> A motion to end the process of nominating candidates for an office.
