School-Based Decision Making Council

Any aspects of CMMS are governed by a School-Based Decision Making council. The council consists of four teachers and three parents all elected by their peers on a yearly basis. The council is chaired by the principal. Council meetings are held the 3rd Wednesday of each month at 4:00 pm in the school media center and are open to the public, except where executive sessions are allowed by Kentucky law. Councils make the policy in the areas of:

• Curriculum
• Staff assignment
• Student assignment
• School schedule
• School space
• Instructional practices
• Discipline/classroom management
• Extracurricular programs
• Standards alignment
• Committee participation
• Hiring (the principal makes hiring recommendations to the superintendent after consulting with the council. The council recommends to the superintendent who should be hired as principal.)
• The council adopts the school budget and makes decisions regarding a portion of teacher professional development.
