Progress Report, School LAND Trust Plans, Council Membership and Signature Forms will now be due on April 3, 2020. Please work with your Administrator of Schools if you have extenuating circumstances. Please follow the guidelines listed below:
- In keeping with the Governor’s directive to facilitate the ability of public bodies to conduct meetings electronically, we have given approval for all School Community Councils to hold electronic meetings.
- The meetings must be noticed as usual including instructions for how the public may attend virtually.
- Meetings may be held via phone call or any digital platform such as Google Meet, Zoom, Canvas and others.
- Minutes should be taken and posted in the usual manner.
- Keep a record of attendance, voting, and how people voted.
- Please update your council member list and how the council voted on the school plan so that the LAND Trust Plan and the “Council Membership and Signature Form 2019-20” will match the website.
- Collect digital signatures (see next bullet point) by using the electronic signature form found on the State website.
- If you will send the emails while holding the electronic meeting, (when approving the Upcoming School LAND Trust Plan) you can ask members to let you know if they do not receive the emails.
- If a SCC member doesn’t receive the email the principal can troubleshoot with that person directly to get the problem fixed, such as an incorrect email.
- Please click the green “Send Emails” button to send the emails to the SCC members as soon as possible, as this step takes the longest time to complete. We must have an 80% response rate from voting members to mark this form completed.
- Please be certain that budget numbers from the State website and your plan match. There can’t be any negative balances.
- Check the JAM website for more information
- Contact Nadine Page or Mike Anderson with questions on the process.
- Contact your Administrator of Schools if you have extenuating circumstances.
