Councils must include a minimum of:

• 2 parents elected by parents
• 2 teachers elected by teachers
• 2 students elected by students (in schools with grades 9 - 12)

• There must be twice as many elected members as appointed members.
• There must be one-half as many appointed members as elected members.
• If a council has an odd number of elected members the number of appointed members must be adjusted by rounding up or down by 1 member.

Deadlines

• SIC elections, by SC state law, must be held by October 15.
• SIC membership, by SC state law, must be repported to the SC-SIC Member Network by November 15.

Important Points!

• Ex-Officio members DO NOT COUNT in the 2/3 ELECTED TO 1/3 APPOINTED ratio.
• Appointed members SHOULD NOT BE TEACHERS or PARENTS WITH CHILDREN AT THE SCHOOL.
• Appointed members are community members that represent the NON-PARENT TAXPAYER.
