Who is Eligible as a teacher representative All certified staff members, as defined by the Educational Professional Standards Board (EPSB), in the school, including itinerant teachers, part time teachers, counselors and library media specialist are eligible to serve as a teacher representative on the school council and to vote in a school council election. Curriculum Coaches/Instructional Coaches may be considered a teacher for the purpose of SBDM as long as they do not have administrative powers/duties
Who is NOT Eligible as a teacher representative • Principals, assistant principals and other administrative staff with evaluative duties
Who is Eligible as a parent representative • parent candidates must have a student enrolled or preregistered to attend the school for the year they will be serving on the school council. The candidate must be a parent, stepparent, foster parent, or a person who has legal custody of a student pursuant to a court order and with whom the student resides.
Who is NOT Eligible as a parent representative • Parent who is an employee of the school in which they wish to serve or a relative of an employee in the school • An employee or a relative* of an employee in the district administrative offices • A local board of education member or member’s spouse. *A relative, as defined in statute, includes father, mother, brother, sister, husband, wife, son, daughter, aunt, uncle, son-in law and daughter-in law.
Minority Elections When must a school have a special election for minority representatives? • If a school has 8% or more minority enrollment as of the October 1 preceding the initial parent or teacher election, the school must have minority representation on the school council. If a minority member is elected to the school council in the initial parent or teacher elections, or if the principal is a minority, then the school council is not required to elect additional minority members.
Minority Elections • Otherwise, an additional election to select a minority parent and a minority teacher must be held. • An election for minority representation will result in an increase from six members to eight on a single council. This does not require an Alternative Model application to be filed.
LEGISLATIVE UPDATE 2014 • The General Assembly for 2014 has come to an end. Several bills directly (or indirectly) affecting SBDM were proposed. However, none of the bills passed both the Senate and the House of Representatives. So, at present, no changes to the SBDM statute will materialize. • As for the state budget, including the reference to Section 6 allocation: The budget bill (HB 235) does include the provision for a school district to allocate Section 6 funds at no less than$100 per ADA.
What we will cover • Submission process of staffing allocations by May 1 deadline. • SBDM Verifications and correlating it to the School Report Card.
