Increasingly the public is learning about the power of Site-Based Decision Making (SBDM) Councils – groups created to write school policy and make a wide range of decisions as outlined by Kentucky law. Site Based councils were designed to promote shared leadership among those who are closest to the students. Most councils include three teachers, two parents, and an administrator. Parents are elected to the council and each school has its own council.
However, many citizens do not know that these meetings are open to the public.
If you are a parent and want to be involved in your child’s school – council membership is important. Concerned citizens are also encouraged to attend meetings to learn what’s going on in your local school – and see your tax dollars at work.
