Upcoming Board Meetings: January 21st: Business Meeting at 6:30 PM at Stargate February 18th: Business Meeting at 6:30PMat Stargate Stargate Governance 101: What happens if there are not enough votes cast for changes to the Bylaws? There are certain sections of the Bylaws that require a specific percentage of participation from the community, in addition to a positive vote, to make a change. If there are not enough votes cast, changes won't be made to those sections. This could limit our flexibility for strategic and responsible growth into the High School. The election committee will make it very easy and simple to cast your vote. The Board will communicate the proposed changes and hold information sessions so that you understand them before the vote. You'll need to be sure to cast your vote. If you have a question for the board, please send an email to governance@stargateschool.org. |
