Rep. Sumsion, from Utah County, has a bill HB 315 that would "allow a school to modify the composition, powers, and duties of a school community council." You need to read the bill to really get the magnitude of the proposed changes to your school's community council. Again go to www.le/state.ut.us and search for the bill by number or by Rep. Sumsion's name. Briefly the bill would allow for a council of eight parent members and one teacher member if the parents voted (a majority) for the change. If this vote took place the council could hire the principal and teachers and/or request the transfer of the principal or a teacher. Just a reminder to not use your SCHOOL COMPUTER to send emails to legislators. You can look at bills and call using your cell phone. The bill has not gone to committe yet. We will monitor this bill and give you updates. Don't forget to go "Under the Dome" at the www.utea.org website or click on the Dome in this blog and sign up for updates from UEA.
Thanks for staying tuned. Rick
