What is a School Community Council?

The SCC is an advisory group that helps with the development of the school’s Land Trust Plan, School Improvement Plan, School Safety Plan, Digital Citizenship Plan, and Positive Behavior Plan. For more information about the SCC, School Land Trust.

Parkview School Community Council Membership

 Parkview Elementary 2025-2026

Meeting Schedule for the Year

2025-2026

The council consists of the principal, an ex officio voting member,  1 school employee(s), who is/are elected in even years, 1 school employee(s) who is/are elected in odd years,  and 4 parent members who is/are elected in even years, 4 parent members who is/are elected in odd years.  Councils must have a 2-parent majority and elections are required to be staggered with half of the council elected each year.

When a full council is not seated in the election or a seat is vacated, the parent members of the council shall appoint members to fill unfilled parent positions and school employee members shall appoint school employee members.

The council shall elect a chair from the parent members and a vice-chair from the parent or school employee members at the first meeting of the year after the council is seated each year.  A principal cannot hold office.

The chair conducts the meetings, makes assignments, and requests reports on assignments.  In the absence of the chair, the vice-chair shall conduct meetings.  The chair may delegate responsibilities to other council members.

The council must have a quorum to vote. A quorum is a majority of council members.   To ensure a quorum can be present, establish a process to remove and replace a member, as needed.

Meetings shall be conducted and action taken according to very simplified rules of parliamentary procedure as required in 53G-7-1203.  Council actions will be taken by motions and voting with votes and motions recorded in the minutes.

Simple Motions of Parliamentary Procedure

A motion is an action to be taken by the council and is stated as a motion.  Someone else on the council “seconds” the motion indicating 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 the 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.  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.

• A tie vote is a lost vote.
• Most motions are main motions.  A main motion may be amended.
• A point of order is offered when there is some question if the procedure has been followed correctly.
• To stop debate or discussion on a motion and force the vote a member would say, “I move the previous question.”  This requires a second and a 2/3 vote.
• Hasty action may be corrected by use of the motion to reconsider. This motion may be made only
  by one who voted on the prevailing side.
• A person who made the motion may withdraw the same motion.
