It is time for East Jessamine Middle School  to elect four parents as representatives for our School Based Decision Making (SBDM) Council.
“School councils promote shared leadership among those who are close to the students. Membership of each council includes parents, teachers, and an administrator of the school. The council has the responsibility to set school policy and make decisions outlined in statute, which should provide an environment to enhance student achievement.”  
 

These representatives will take office after July 2025. If you are interested in serving on the Council, you will need to complete the nomination form at the bottom, telling other parents about yourself.

In order to run you must:
Be a parent, step-parent, or legal guardian of a student who will be enrolled during the 2025-2026 school year at East Jessamine Middle School.
Not have a relative who is an employee of East Jessamine Middle School, Central Office, or a Board of Education member (relative shall mean father, mother, brother, sister, husband, wife, son, daughter, aunt, uncle, son-in-law, or daughter-in-law).
Not be employed by EJMS, Central Office, or a Board of Education member

Additionally, there is a training that you must complete in order to serve. It is approximately 3 hours. Candidates must complete the form below and return by 5/13/25.

Voting is via google forms, by parents, stepparents, or legal guardians of students who will be enrolled at EJMS during the 2025-2026 school year. Incoming sixth grade parents are eligible but outgoing eighth grade parents are not, unless additional siblings will be attending EJMS.
