Dear District Advisory Committee Members and Interested Parties:
This is our last meeting for this school year. We have officer elections, bylaw revision vote and Superintendent Raymond has our guest speaker to discuss his strategic plan and future plans.
DAC Officer Election:
If anyone is still interested in running for the DAC Board, you still have that opportunity as a write-in. Please read the election rules, each school gets one vote. Two changes to the elections noted below. Please note a quorum shall be a minimum of one-third Representatives in attendance providing the majority are parents.
1. Candidates must be present on date of election. Write-ins may be nominated at this time. (added)
4. DAC representatives from each school, district department, public organization or community agency will receive one paper ballot per represented group. (Change from “DAC representatives who are recorded on this year’s attendance signups and present will receive one paper ballot per represented group.”)
Bylaw Revision:
The attachment for the bylaws contains the following edits to the May 11 presentation. These changes were suggested by members and the legal review and help with clarity. They have been reviewed by the Executive Board and do not represent substantive changes. It is proposed that suggestions for substantive change to either the revised or certified bylaws be addressed by the amendment process next year.
Article II (Purpose) "Board of Trustees" is changed to "Board of Education".

Article III, Section B, 2 (Members) has "Members may not vote." added.

Article IV, Section G, 1 (Officers, President) is reworded to read: "The president shall serve on the Bylaws Committee." with the "and" deleted.

Article V, Section B (Conference Items) is reworded to change "conference" to "discussion" and has "to allow further discussion by SSCs as desired" added to the first sentence. An “s” is deleted from “meetings”.
