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 The person who originally made a motion can ask to withdraw it before a vote is taken.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. It requires a second and a two-thirds vote.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/div><\/div>\n      <p class=\"gsdscc-back-to-top\">\n        <a href=\"#top\">\n          <i class=\"fal fa-arrow-up\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i> Back to top\n        <\/a>\n      <\/p><h2 id=\"handbook\" class=\"gsdscc-section-heading primary-color-bg p-3 text-white\">\n        School Community Council Handbook\n      <\/h2><p><a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1VJlk_SH-5z28Gz6ESFuga0iQR2KPpaUy\/view\" target=\"_blank\">School Community Council Handbook (English)<\/a><\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1ymqw4bipbw3558x2dgtd2OwytsytnfKC\/view\" target=\"_blank\">School Community Council Handbook (Spanish)<\/a><\/p>\n      <p class=\"gsdscc-back-to-top\">\n        <a href=\"#top\">\n          <i class=\"fal fa-arrow-up\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i> Back to top\n        <\/a>\n      <\/p><h2 id=\"teacher-student-plan\" class=\"gsdscc-section-heading primary-color-bg p-3 text-white\">\n        Teacher and Student Success Plan \/ Continual Improvement Plan\n      <\/h2><p><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/spreadsheets\/d\/1ICuXGFFzX0BzSn4FpLHRV6RB6u2JoYCLdaM31_6wZi0\/edit?usp=sharing\">Teacher and Student Success Plan \/ Continual Improvement Plan<\/a><\/p>\n      <p class=\"gsdscc-back-to-top\">\n        <a href=\"#top\">\n          <i class=\"fal fa-arrow-up\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i> Back to top\n        <\/a>\n      <\/p><h2 id=\"elections\" class=\"gsdscc-section-heading primary-color-bg p-3 text-white\">\n        Council Elections\n      <\/h2><p>Voting is not in progress at this time.<\/p><h3>Candidacy Information<\/h3><p>School Community Councils are elected parent\/guardian and employee representatives who work<br \/>\ntogether with the principal to increase student achievement.
