Who Can Serve on a School-Based Decision Making (SBDM) Council?
The law requires membership of the SBDM Council to include parents, teachers, and the principal of the school. Parents and teachers are elected to serve on the SBDM Council by their constituents in a process determined at the local school.
Why Should I Get Involved?
When parents and teachers are involved, they are able to be a part of the decision-making process that directly affects the learning environment. Participating on the SBDM Council at your school allows you to share your expertise and to participate in the decisions that directly affect students. Your involvement will aid in increasing student achievement. Each member represents a stakeholder group at the school, and this enables mutual understanding of the concerns of each group as it assists in making decisions for the school.
Simpson County Schools Sbdm Councils
"In the 1990 legislative session, the Kentucky General Assembly passed HB 940, which is best known as the Kentucky Education Reform Act (KERA). Essentially, this piece of legislation changed the face of education in Kentucky. One drastic change that came along with KERA was KRS 160.345, which outlined school-based decision-making councils.
Membership of each council includes parents, teachers, and an administrator of the school and school councils promote shared leadership among those who are closest to the students. School councils have the responsibility to set school policy and make decisions outlined in statute, which should provide an environment to enhance student achievement. The policies should assist in meeting the goals established in KRS 158.645 and KRS 158.6451."
