West Louisville Elementary parents will be electing one parent to serve on the WLES Site Based Decision Making (SBDM) Council in April.
What is the SBDM? The SBDM Council is composed of the principal, three teachers, and two parents. SBDM meets once a month and gives input in the areas of academic policies, curriculum, and discipline, just to name a few. The parent member is to bring his/her own unique points on advisory council issues as well as presenting ideas from other WLES parents and that of the community.
Who is eligible? The parent must have a student at WLES during the 2025-2026 school year. Parents of incoming Kindergarten students are eligible to run. Members are also eligible for re-election for consecutive terms. The position will be a two-year term, unless the parent elected only can serve for one year based on children within the school.
How do I apply? Please submit the following information to Mrs. Kidd via email at Jennifer .kidd@daviess.kyschools.us or you can bring the information to the front office of WLES by noon on Monday, April 21, 2025.
