Rules of Order:

To promote ethical behavior and civil discourse each member of the Salina

Elementary Community Council shall:

• Attend council meetings on time and prepared

• Make decisions with the needs of students as the main objective

• Listen to and value diverse opinions

• Be sure the opinions of those you represent are included in discussions

• Expect accountability and be prepared to be accountable

• Act with integrity

Rules of Procedure:

All meetings are open to the public and the public is welcome to attend.

The agenda of each upcoming meeting with draft minutes of the prior meeting will

be made available to all council members at least one week in advance.

Minutes will be kept of all meetings, prepared in draft format for approval at the

next scheduled meeting.

The council will prepare a timeline for the school year that includes due dates for

all required reporting and other activities/tasks that the council agrees to assume

or participate in. The timeline will assist in preparation of agendas to be sure the

council accomplishes their work in a timely manner.

The chair or a co-chair conducts the meetings, makes assignments and requests

reports on assignments. In the absence of the chair or co-chair, the vice-chair or

other co-chair shall conduct meetings.

Meetings shall be conducted and action taken according to very simplified rules

of parliamentary procedure as required in 53A-1a-108.1(9)(i). Items on the

agenda take priority over other discussions coming before the council. Action of

the council will be taken by motions and voting. The motions and voting are

recorded in the minutes.

A motion (or an action to be taken by the council) is stated as a motion.

Someone else on the council “seconds” the motion indicating that at least one

other person on the council feels the motion is worthy of discussion. Then the

council members may provide input and discussion as called upon by the chair.

When discussion seems complete the chair may call for a vote on the motion. Or

when a member of the council “calls the previous question” (a motion to end

discussion of the first motion), a second is required and then, without discussion

the chair calls for a vote that must pass by 2/3. If the vote on the previous

question fails the council goes back to discussing the first motion. If the motion

to call the previous question passes, the chair directly calls for a vote on the first

motion. A vote to call the previous question is usually used to move business

along.
