There will be established in each building of the Amherst, the Pelham and the Amherst- Pelham Regional School Districts, a Principal Advisory Committee, broadly representative of the staff, including teachers, paraprofessionals, and clerical/media staff, together with representatives of building administration. The specific composition of each Advisory Committee will be determined at the building level, by collaborative agreement between the Principal and the Association representatives at the building, provided that: the Committee shall be broadly representative of the building staff. Representatives of the teaching and other staff must be chosen by secret ballot election, supervised annually by the building Association representatives or their designees during the first two (2) weeks of the school year. The Advisory Committee will then select a facilitator, who will be a building administrator, but who will otherwise be a member of the Advisory Committee. At the option of the Advisory Committee, the facilitator position may rotate among members of the Committee. These Advisory Committees will meet on a regular basis. The agenda will be set and posted in advance of the meetings. Any member of the staff may submit agenda items on any issue to the facilitator, and any member of the staff or of the Advisory Committee may make a presentation on any issue to the full Advisory Committee. The Principal will have his/her permanent agenda item(s) and will facilitate that portion of the meeting. Committee members will review each issue with their represented constituencies, and report back to the Committee before any action is taken on any proposal.
