Sent today to all parent and student addresses in Infinite Campus.
All parents of Ryle students for 2013-14, please stop by the school on Wednesday, May 29th (7 a.m. until 3 p.m.) to vote for a minority parent representative for the Ryle SBDM Council.
The following parents have been nominated for minority parent representative:
A resume for each candidate has been posted at the school office.
When must a school have an 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, reported by the Superintendent’s Annual Attendance Report (SAAR), the school must have minority representation on the school council. If a minority member is elected to the 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. 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, because KRS 160.345 requires this membership increase.
Minority council elections are the only times that the principal is responsible for the electoral process.
Who qualifies to run for minority council representative?
For the purposes of school-based decision making, “minority” is defined as "American Indian; Alaskan native; African-American; Hispanic, including persons of Mexican, Puerto-Rican, Cuban and Central or South American origin; Pacific Islander; or other ethnic group underrepresented in the school."
