Minority Advisory Council

The Minority Advisory Council (MAC) is made up approximately 22 Members (20 teachers / 2 administrators: one elementary and secondary). Participation ideally will include representation from classroom teachers in early elementary, upper elementary, middle school and high school, as well as representation from the arts, library, special education, Career and Technical Education, and, if possible, a school counselor.  The President and/or designee of any association who receives the necessary votes as outlined by state law (PECCA) will serve on the committee as well.

Members will be selected to serve one-year terms that can be renewed up to two additional years. Membership will rotate so that roughly one-third of committee members will roll off each year while two-thirds remain. Members must be employed by KCS.

Members of the MAC are selected through a nomination process open to all schools. Nominations are considered and new members are chosen by a selection committee composed of current members of the MAC. Educators can be considered for membership through nomination by their principal, self-nomination, and/or continuation from the previous year. Interested educators will be asked to complete a short application, including providing biographical information and a very brief statement as to why they wish to serve on the MAC.

The Minority Advisory Council will meet during seven months of the school year (September through April, excluding December). Typically, an agenda will be developed and disseminated in advance. Agendas may be modified to address topics as they arise or to adjust for time constraints. The Superintendent or his designee will serve as facilitator of the discussion.
