Each year, beginning in March, the Consultation Committee should meet to review and discuss the School-Based Options that your school would like to create or restore. After consultation with the principal, the chapter leader should hold a union meeting to review the SBOs from the previous year and discuss any proposed new SBOs. Members should be encouraged to raise questions and concerns. In addition, the chapter leader should survey the staff to gauge interest in the SBOs being contemplated. The purpose of a survey is to help the chapter leader decide whether or not a particular SBO should even be put up for a vote. Once the chapter leader decides whether or not an SBO vote will be conducted, the ballot is created and voted.
