File:  AE-R - Accountability/Commitment to Accomplishment

(District Accountability/School Accountability Committee)

The district accountability committee shall also serve as the school accountability committee and shall consist of at least:

•  one parent of a student(s) enrolled in the school district

•  one teacher employed by the district

•  one school administrator employed by the district

•  one taxpayer who resides in the boundaries of the district

A person may not serve in more than one of the required membership roles on the committee. A person who is employed by the district or related to a district employee shall not be eligible to serve as a parent on the committee. No more than three members may be employed by or be related to employees of the district. "Related" means the person's spouse, son, daughter, sister, brother, mother or father. If, however, the district makes a good faith effort and is unable to identify a sufficient number of parents that meet these criteria, a person may serve as a parent on the committee and also be employed by the district or related to a district employee.

Members of the committee shall be appointed by the Board. In making these appointments, it shall ensure, to the extent practicable, that the parents appointed reflect the student populations significantly represented within the district.

Members of the committee may be designated or appointed, except where election is required.  If an election would result in more than three district employees or persons related to district employees, only the candidates who receive the highest number of votes that will result in only three persons who are employees or related to employees will become members of the committee.

All designations and appointments shall be made by September 1st in odd years.  All required elections shall be conducted on or before October 31st each year.

Members of the committee serve terms of two years. Vacancies shall be filled by majority action of the remaining members of the committee. Except for the principal, no member of the committee shall serve more than two consecutive full terms, plus any balance remaining on an unexpired term if the initial appointment was to fill a vacancy.
