Abstract | This guidebook was designed to help educational practitioners and community members in Oregon understand the issues regarding school-council formation and development. In 1991 the Oregon State Legislature passed the Oregon Educational Act for the 21st Century, mandating a fundamental change in public education. The Act assigns school councils the primary responsibility for developing and implementing the key components of Oregon's school-reform effort in each school building. The first section describes the legislative basis for school councils. Section 2 presents rules for school-council membership. The third section describes the six stages of school-council development--readiness and preparation; formation; group process and decision-making development; mission, vision, and action plan; transition; and institutionalization. Effective school councils are characterized by the following: (1) the recognition that council development is a time-consuming and continuous process; (2) clearly defined leadership roles; (3) the use of trained and neutral facilitators; (4) clear communication channels within and among participants; and (5) preparation for major systemic change.
