SELPA GOVERNANCE COUNCIL 

The Governance Council is the governing body for the Tehama County SELPA.  The Governance Council is composed of the superintendents from each participating LEA and the TCDE.   The superintendent of the Administrative Unit serves as the chairperson for the Governance Council.  The SELPA Governance Council is charged with the responsibility of adopting appropriate policies regarding the implementation of the Local Plan for Special Education. Each LEA superintendent by participation in the Governance Council is charged with overseeing the operations of the Local Plan and implementing the policies adopted. Information is transmitted to the SELPA Executive Council for implementation of the directives and policies and for the development of procedures. The SELPA Administrator provides a coordinating function and serves as staff to each of the groups. Thus, a smooth and efficient operation of the administrative structure is achieved to assure a successful implementation of the Local Plan for Special Education in accordance with the policies adopted by the SELPA Governance Council.

 All council members have EQUAL voting power and decisions will be made by a two thirds majority vote except in circumstances where state or federal mandates require a unanimous vote. Designees may attend meetings on behalf of a superintendent but may not be voting members.   

The Governance Council meets a minimum of two times per school year.  All meetings of the council shall be held according to Brown Act requirements.  The responsibilities of the Governance council include but are not limited to the following:

  • to appoint representatives to the Executive Committee,
  • to review and take action to approve or deny amendments to the local plan,
  • to make changes in the allocation model and expenditure agreements as necessary,
  • to approve or deny requests for program transfers and
  • to address any other items determined necessary by the Executive Committee.
