  18. Why do Kentucky schools have councils?

  19. School Councils School councils are part of an overall concept to create schools that teach all students the knowledge and skills they need to be successful citizens.

  20. School Councils Specifically school councils determine the approaches that will benefit their school in order to meet that goal. The whole system is organized around the goals as established in Kentucky statutes and regulations.

  21. Why are you here today?

  22. The Main Responsibility for Every School Council The school council shall have the responsibility to set school policy consistent with district board policy which shall provide an environment to enhance the students’ achievement and help the school meet the goals established in KRS 158.645 and 158.6451.

  23. Molly Ivins (1944-2007), columinist, commentator, humorist First rule of holes: When you’re in one, stop digging.

  24. So, what can a advisory council do? What is its role in school governance?

  25. Provide informed, sound, logical, clear, research-based, visionary advice.

  26. HOW?

  27. Papa John’s

  28. Bill Cosby Anyone can dabble, but once you’ve made that commitment, your blood has that particular thing in it, and it’s very hard for people to stop you.

  29. School Governance School Councils, including the Advisory Council, are part of the school governance. However, the fully authority of the school’s governance rests with either the Commissioner of Education or the district Superintendent. KRS 160.346(3)(a)4

  30. Vision Vision is everything for leadership. Vision leads the school. It paints a target. It sparks and fuels the fire within, and draws others forward. A school without vision isn’t going anywhere. It is traveling in circles.

  31. Vision • Vision starts from within. • Vision draws on history. • Vision meets others’ needs. • Vision helps you gather resources.

  32. Vision • The Inner Voice • The Unhappy Voice • The Successful Voice

  33. Beliefs A core belief or value is a set of guiding principles that serves as a basis for decision making. What do you believe?

  34. Committees School councils have the option to create committees. If committees are created and charged with a task, then the school council must have a policy for committee structure, authority and membership. [KRS 160.345(2)(c)2]

  35. Committees Committees can work on a variety of task that include: • Researching specific topics or best practices • Soliciting and analyzing input from stakeholders • Design policies and procedures • Monitoring and evaluation of programs and initiatives

  36. Committees Committees come in two forms: standing and ad-hoc. Standing committees work with standard issues of a continuing basis. Ad-hoc committees are formed for specific purpose and for a limited timeframe. Ad-hoc committees deal with issues that do not fit into a standing committee’s authority or charge.

  37. Committees • What are some common standing committees? Why are these good examples of standing committees? • What are some common ad-hoc committees? Why create ad-hoc committees in these areas?

  38. Committee Policy KRS 160.345(2)(c)2-(e) • Participation of all interested persons • Number of committees • Jurisdiction of the committees • Process for membership selection • Follow Open Meetings and Records Statutes

  39. Committee Charge • Give each committee a significant issue to address. • List any factors and deadlines you want them to consider in a clearly written “charge”. • Ask for reports from each committee on how the work is going.

  40. Committee Charge • Consider committee proposals thoughtfully and fully. • Ask for input from the committee before you make significant changes to their proposals, thanking each committee for their work.

  41. Consensus Kentucky statutes do not specify how a school council will make its decisions. That means that a school council can make all of its decisions by taking a vote. However, a school council can make its decisions by consensus.

  42. Consensus Consensus does not mean that everyone agrees to the decision, but that it is the best option. However, consensus does mean that everyone sees the process as fair and the final choice is one that all are willing to help succeed.

  43. Consensus The biggest benefit of a consensus-made decision is that the decision has broad support and understanding and are more likely to succeed when put into action. An additional advantage is that all council members can feel that their concerns have been heard and valued.

  44. Open Meetings Kentucky’s Open Meetings laws protect the rights of the general public to know the actions and decision of its public agencies. School councils, Advisory Councils, and their committees are public agencies and therefore are required to comply with all aspects of the Open Meetings laws.

  45. Open Meetings All meetings where a quorum of the membership is present, where public business is being discussed or at which time actions or decisions are made are open meetings to the public.

  46. Open Meetings The council must be assembled and act in accordance with the requirements for open meetings in order to conduct official business. The legal requirements governing the conduct of council and committee meetings are found in the Kentucky Open Meetings statutes.

  47. Open Meetings Statutes KRS 61.810 – Exceptions to open meetings KRS 61.815 – Requirements for conducting closed sessions KRS 61.820 – Schedule of regular meetings to be made available KRS 61.823 – Special meetings, Emergency meetings KRS 61.835 – Minutes to be recorded, open to public

  48. Open Meetings Statutes KRS 61.872 – Right to inspection KRS 61.874 – Abstracts, memorandums, copies KRS 61.876 – Agency to adopt rules and regulations KRS 61.878 – Certain public records exempted from inspection KRS 61.880 – Denial of inspection

  49. Open Meetings Open Meetings Statutes apply whenever: A majority of the council or committee is present. Business is discussed even if no action it taken.
