An assembly is a group of members of an organization who meet periodically to make decisions about a specific area or scope of the organization.
Assemblies hold meetings, some are private and some are open. If they are open, it is possible to participate in them (for example: attending if the capacity allows it, adding points to the agenda, or commenting on the proposals and decisions taken by this organ).
Examples: A general assembly (which meets once a year to define the organisation's main lines of action as well as its executive bodies by vote), an equality advisory council (which meets every two months to make proposals on how to improve gender relations in the organisation), an evaluation commission (which meets every month to monitor a process) or a guarantee body (which collects incidents, abuses or proposals to improve decision-making procedures) are all examples of assemblies.
MSEG Planning Committee
The core group of volunteer leads planning the engagement process
About this assembly
Volunteer representatives of the various stakeholders within OUSD, shaping how community engagement and decision-making should look to inform the future of the district.
As representatives of the various stakeholders of OUSD (parents, students, teachers, other staff, administrators, School Board), we will help shape how engagement and decision-making should look to inform the future of our district. We will assert our local control and our capacity as OUSD stakeholders to collaborate in making decisions that will benefit all of our students and schools. We will assert the promise and power of acting as a unified school district.
Purpose of action
Our group intends to plan engagements, organize feedback, and compile recommendations and proposals through a systematic and transparent public process. We aim to achieve the type of balance that is modeled within School Site Councils with parity between families and students of OUSD's advisory committees and OUSD employees whose leadership supports our entire district.
