Board Members' Announcements/Request for Information Subject : 14.1 Designation of School Board Members to serve as the Legislative Liaison and Alternate on the Florida School Boards Association Legislative Committee Meeting : Jul 23, 2015 - Workshop Meeting Type : Action Recommended Action : Motion to designate (board member) to serve as the Board's Legislative Liaison and (board member) to serve as the alternate on the Florida School Boards Association Legislative Committee through June 2016. Public Content In order to encourage equal representation of all school boards in our legislative efforts, the FSBA Bylaws call for each school board to annually designate a school board member, and an alternate, to serve on the FSBA Legislative Committee. During the Annual Summer Conference in June, the FSBA membership approved a revision to the FSBA Bylaws that changed the time frame for the designation of FSBA Legislative Committee representative so that it would align with the time frame for school board members to sign up to serve on other FSBA Committees and Subcommittees. Prior to this Bylaws revision, school boards were asked to make this selection during the annual Organization Meeting that is typically held in November. Under this former Bylaws provision, the term of service for the district Legislative Committee representative and alternate would span from November 2014 through November 2015. However, as amended, the FSBA Bylaws now require each district school board to designate a Legislative Committee representative and alternate annually in June. As a result, the term of service for the district Legislative Committee representative and alternate would span from June 2015 to June 2016. As we transition to this new time frame to implement this Bylaws revision, we ask each school board to pursue one of these two options: Option 1 -- Retain your district’s current FSBA Legislative Committee representative and alternate through June 2016. Option 2 -- Designate a new FSBA Legislative Committee representative and alternate to serve from the date of the designation through June 2016. Mr. Destin currently serves as the Board's liaison and Dr. White as the alternate. 14.
