#Section 1. The elective officers of the Kentucky PTA

our association.
Proposed
Amendment #2-Article X: Board of
Directors

Section 10. At all meetings of the board, fifteen (15)
members of the board of directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction
of business.
Proposed amendment:
Section 10. At all meetings of the board, one half of the
members of the board of directors plus one shall constitute a quorum for the
transaction of business.
Rationale: This will allow
Kentucky PTA to operate more effectively by having a moving minimum quorum
based on the number of board members.
Proposed
Amendment #3-Article XI: Committees
Original:
Section 4. b. Select one (1)
nominee for each elected commissioner to be elected by the board of directors
at the Post-Convention board meeting and as stipulated in Article XVI, Section
5.
Proposed amendment:
Remove
Section 4b from the Kentucky PTA bylaws.
Rationale: The Kentucky PTA
Standing Rules have been amended and approved to reflect that all commissioners
will now be appointed by the Kentucky PTA President. This will eliminate the need for the
Nominating Committee to nominate any commissioners for election.
