By-Laws review meeting this Thursday
March 6, 7:00 pm, Fern auditorium. All welcome!
Please come out and have your say on the development of a set of proposed By-Laws for the Fern School Council. Rather than take up valuable time at Council meetings debating meeting procedures, your Council has decided to propose a set of basic by-laws, in keeping with provincial guidelines, for the operation of Council meetings.
This will cover such issues as: (A) the makeup of the Executive; and (B) voting rights and procedures in the event of controversial decisions. As those of you who have attended Council meetings in the past are aware, the Council generally operates on consensus and has a good track record for tackling difficult issues. However, disagreement and controversy do sometimes arise and it is important that we have pre-agreed-upon procedures in place.
I know this doesn't sound like an exciting topic but it is important! Please consider coming out to have your say. If you cannot make the meeting and want to share your views with me, please do not hesitate to call or email me.
