COUNCIL OPERATIONS
We've developed a range of tools and resources your council can use to strengthen the essential work you do to get focused on improving student results. In addition to a solid start, we can also show you the steps necessary to do exemplary work. |

> BYLAWS REVIEW KIT
From elections to minutes, KASC's Bylaws Review Kit ensures that your operating rules fit the law and work well for your school. For each topic, a separate review sheet gives you:
> The text of the relevant statutes.
> A checklist of legal and practical considerations.
> Sample language you can adopt or amend to fit your school.
Topics covered in the kit range from council composition and terms to calling meetings to consensus and more. Get a sound grounding in the basics of council operations.

Here's the easy way to run all your elections: all the forms you need to call for nominations, receive nominations, announce candidates, sign in voters and handout ballots, personalized for your school.
