Florida School Law 1001.452 of the Title XLVIII K-20 Education Code states: "The district school board shall review the membership composition of each advisory council. If the district school board determines that the membership elected by the school is not representative of the ethnic, racial, and economic community served by the school, the district school board shall appoint additional members to achieve proper representation." School Board Policy 2.14 and the Summary of Procedures specify establishment and composition of the School Advisory Council (SAC).

The principals have submitted school advisory council membership lists to the Superintendent for review by the School Board. The Executive Director of School Improvement and Accountability has reviewed the School Advisory Council membership lists to determine if the membership is representative of each school's ethnic, racial, and economic community. Each school has either  achieved compliance or has demonstrated ongoing maximized effort to do so. The Executive Director continuously works with each school to achieve appropriate representation. School Advisory Council lists for the 2008-2009 school year are available for review in Room 503 of the School Support Center.

The Superintendent recommends the approval of the 2008-2009 Manatee County School District School Advisory Council rosters.

Motion and approval of the 2008-2009 Manatee County School District School Advisory Council rosters.
