Dear
CANEC Members:
As the
charter school movement moves into its second decade, so does CANEC. Looking
to the future of the charter school movement, CANEC has spent the past
several months restructuring the organization to better serve its members.
A major aspect of this restructuring is providing CANEC with a strong,
dynamic governance structure combining an influential Board of Directors
with a Member Council that will actively engage the membership.
Please find below more information on CANEC's Restructuring Plan as well
as a ballot submission form to place your name on the ballot for CANEC's
new Member Council.
Sincerely,
Sue Bragato, CANEC Executive Director

MEMBER MEMO
TO: CANEC Members
FROM: Sue Bragato, Executive Director
RE: Member Council Election
As the charter movement moves into its second decade, so does CANEC. Founded
in 1993 in the excitement offered by the Charter Schools Act of 1992 and
its promise of sweeping educational reform, CANEC has made a singular
statewide contribution to the growth of the charter school movement during
its first ten years.
Looking to the future of the charter school movement, CANEC has spent
the past several months restructuring the organization to better serve
its members. A major aspect of this restructuring is providing CANEC with
a strong, dynamic governance structure combining an influential Board
of Directors with a Member Council that will actively engage the membership.
At this time we invite you to consider running for election to the Member
Council, which will be a 17-member body representing CANEC member categories
and regions. The Member Council will be compromised of:
* Nine charter school member representatives. (One representative will
be elected from each CANEC region. Representatives will be school administrators
and/or school governing board members.)
*Two charter school employee members.
* Two charter school parent/student members.
* Two charter school development group members.
* Two "At-Large" members. (The current President and President- elect
will serve as the at-large members for the first year.)
The Member Council election will take place in February. Members who submit
their name for the ballot WILL BE PLACED ON THE BALLOT. The deadline for
submitting your name for the ballot is Friday, January, 24, 2003.
The complete restructuring plan, revised bylaws, and ballot submission
form can be found at: www.canec.org/membercouncil.html. If you do not
have access to the internet, please contact the CANEC San Carlos office
and we will send you the information by mail.
If you have any questions, please donšt hesitate to contact me at 650
654-6003 or by e-mail at Bragato@canec.org.
