CEC District 28 assigns school liaisons and forms committees for the year
Summary
At the August meeting CEC District 28 assigned council members as liaisons to individual schools and confirmed committee chairs and membership for bylaws, education equity, outreach, logistics, safety, class size law, special education and a newly created gifted & talented committee.
CEC District 28 distributed school liaison assignments among council members and confirmed standing and ad-hoc committees for the coming year.
Members selected their first-choice schools from a district list and indicated second and third preferences; the council discussed the goal that no member should be assigned as liaison to their own child’s school to avoid perceived conflicts. The meeting record shows members named school numbers (for example, Quentin Mezzetin selected a school listed as 680; Lauren Clavin selected 349; Chantelle Chambers selected school 160; other members named their first choices during the roll call). The administrative staff noted the website would be updated to reflect liaison assignments, and members discussed the value of a map or an online chart to show which neighborhoods each liaison covers.
On committees, the council confirmed chairs and members for multiple standing and project committees. Dean Tolbert and Chantelle Chambers were named chair and co-chair, respectively, of the Education Equity Committee. The Outreach Committee, Logistics Committee, Safety Committee and Class Size Law Committee were confirmed with members volunteering. The council also created a Gifted and Talented committee by motion, and volunteers signed up to serve on the new panel. The Special Education committee was discussed at length; members agreed it should continue and named a chair; the group clarified that “special education” in conversation did not necessarily encompass gifted-and-talented services, prompting separate formation of the gifted-and-talented committee.
Members emphasized continuity with returning liaisons and the benefit of letting experienced members keep relationships they had built with school principals, while also encouraging newer members to serve different schools so the council’s coverage is geographically balanced. Administrative staff will publish the liaison and committee list to the council’s website and keep the school assignments up to date.
