CURRICULUM COUNCIL. When the District proposes material changes in the District's definition of educational objectives, determination of course and curriculum content, and selection of textbooks, they shall first be discussed by the Curriculum Council. In the event a Curriculum Council recommendation is amended by the District management prior to being presented to the Board of Education, a member of the Curriculum Council selected by the Association shall be notified at least one (1) week in advance, and be entitled, upon request, to present to the Board the original recommendation and speak in support thereof. The District shall, upon request, consult with the Association on the definition of educational objectives, the determination of the content of courses in the curriculum, and the selection of textbooks to the extent such matters is within the District's discretion under the law. In order to ensure communication between the schools and the Curriculum Council, each site shall have one (1) bargaining unit member serving on the Council. The Association will select the bargaining unit member from each site. The District will select the three (3) administrative and two (2) parent representatives to the Curriculum Council and an Oak Park Unified School District Board of Education member will sit on the Council. Additional members to the Curriculum Council may be considered through joint consultation between the Association and the District. The District reserves the right to split the Curriculum Council into an elementary and secondary grouping.
