P-16/P-20 Councils: Council Meets at Least Once a Quarter
Twenty-nine councils meet at least once a quarter. A "yes" in the database denotes that a council is meeting quarterly - if a council is meeting more frequently than four times a year, the frequency of meetings is provided.
Why does it matter?
Sources for all data points are accessible through this link.
Methodology: ECS performed an initial search of statutes, regulations and executive orders. However, because many P-16 and P-20 councils are established independently of these means, ECS conducted interviews with and had all data verified by at least one contact in the state (typically a P-16 or P-20 council member or staff member supporting the council).
Last update: May 28, 2008
This database was compiled by Jennifer Dounay, project manager, ECS High School Policy Center. For questions, additions or corrections: 303.299.3689 or jdounay@ecs.org.
