Summary

The bill amends KRS 160.345 to define terms like "minority" and "school," and obligates each local board of education to adopt a policy establishing school‑based decision‑making councils. These councils must include two parents, three teachers and the principal, with additional minority representation when the student body is at least 8% minority. The measure aims to give professional staff and parents a formal voice in school policy, budgeting and curriculum decisions.
