Office bearers
The chair, vice-chair,
secretary, treasurer & co-ordinators of the PC/FAB will be elected at the PC’s annual general meeting.
The same role in both bodies
can be held by a single person or by two people.
If a person leaves office
during the course of the year, a replacement can be selected at a PC meeting,
except for the Chair of the PC where an Extraordinary General Meeting would
need to be called.
Duties
Chair: will provide general leadership, will chair all meetings & attend council
meetings with other chairs.
Secretary: will take minutes of meetings & will circulate them to the PC/FAB after each meeting and make them available on request to
any parent.
Treasurer: is responsible for financial transactions as approved by
the PC/FAB & for keeping accurate records of all finances. Annual accounts will be reviewed & approved by an individual appointed by the PC &
will be presented at the annual general
meeting.
Summaries of the financial position of the PC/FAB will be given at meetings as necessary or as requested.
The chair & the treasurer of the PC will normally be responsible for administrating the Broughton Primary School Trust, although other members of the PC/FAB can be elected to carry out this role.
Staff Representation
The headteacher has a right & a duty to attend PC meetings. She or he will have an advisory role & will not take part in PC decision-making, unless invited
to do so.
Other teachers are welcome to
attend meetings, as deemed appropriate by the headteacher, and at least one
teacher will be a member of the PC, as selected by whatever method the school
chooses.
Parents should form the
majority of the PC.
Membership and attendance
Any member of the Parent Forum
may attend a PC/FAB meeting without invitation
or notice.
Apart from office bearers & staff, membership of the PC/FAB will be fluid, and will consist of those parents who
choose to attend PC/FAB meetings.
If meetings become too large
to be manageable or productive, the PC will decide upon a method to limit the
size of the membership and will formalise a selection process if necessary.
Non-parent members of the
community can attend PC/FAB meetings by
invitation or agreement, and they may also address meetings by invitation or
agreement.
Changes to the constitution
Changes to the constitution
can be made at the AGM or an extraordinary general meeting.
Dissolution
If the PC ceases to exist any funds should be distributed by the senior leadership
team for the benefit of the children.
