IT’S TIME TO GET INVOLVED
Site Based Decision Making Councils
Time and again we’ve been told that Site Based Decision Making Councils are where parents and members of the community can make a difference in local public education.
At these public meetings, citizens can witness how a group of teachers and parents shape school policy.
Increasingly, the public is learning that these groups write school policy and make a wide range of decisions as outlined by Kentucky law.
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 encouraged to attend meetings to learn what’s going on in your local school – and see your tax dollars at work.
