In Kentucky, each school is led by a council composed of the principal, elected teachers, and elected parents who make many of the most important decisions about how our school will operate. The council is an opportunity to get involved and help improve the learning experience for all our students. We are currently accepting nominations for parent representatives to serve a one-year term on the School Based Decision-Making Council at South Marshall Middle School. Any parent, stepparent, or foster parent with a child attending SMMS during 2025-2026 school year is eligible to run for SBDM. SBDM representatives are required to attend a training session (six-hours for a new member/ three-hours for an experienced member at the Marshall County Board of Education) and monthly meetings. Two parents will be elected to serve on the council.
If you would like to nominate a candidate or yourself for SBDM, please click here to download the form, complete it, and return it to school by April 23, 2025.
Elections will be held at South Marshall Middle School on April 29, 2025, from 7:15 am till 6:45 pm. Ballots will be in the main office from 7:15 am to 5:15 pm and then in the gym lobby from 5:15 to 6:45 pm.
