Élections des unités locales Procédures pour les agents de l'année scolaire 2020-2021 Arizona PTA autorise les PTA / PTSA locaux à organiser des élections locales dans les 30 jours suivant le début de l'année scolaire 2020-2021 en ligne avec Arizona PTA si les procédures suivantes sont suivies. Veuillez lire et suivre ci-dessous pour organiser vos élections. L'Arizona PTA n'autorise PAS les unités à organiser leurs propres élections en ligne pour le moment. En raison des restrictions de Covid-19, les unités devront utiliser l'Arizona PTA comme surveillant afin d'élire de nouveaux officiers pour l'année scolaire 2020-2021. Dans les 30 jours suivant la rentrée scolaire (à distance ou en personne), votre unité devra remplir le formulaire lié ci-dessous et organiser vos élections en ligne avec Arizona PTA. Les officiers dont les mandats ont pris fin le 30 juin 2020 NE PEUVENT PAS rester en fonction plus de 30 jours après la rentrée scolaire pour 2020-2021. Veuillez noter que pour organiser une élection en ligne, vous devez avoir une adresse e-mail valide ou un moyen de joindre tous vos membres en ligne ! Cela peut signifier les contacter via des paquets scolaires envoyés à la maison ou appeler les membres pour demander un moyen de leur envoyer le lien en ligne vers l'élection. Étape 1: Obtenez de nouveaux MEMBRES ! Connectez-vous avec les anciens membres, le personnel, les parents et les membres de la communauté et prenez des adhésions pour 2020-2021. Assurez-vous de rassembler les informations nécessaires pour atteindre vos membres pour cette élection. Étape 2: Avisez les membres des postes ouverts au sein de votre conseil pour l'année scolaire 2020-2021. Faites savoir aux membres quels postes sont ouverts et ce que chacun implique. Prenez des nominations pour chaque poste ouvert. Assurez-vous que les candidats répondent à la fois aux critères établis par votre APT/PTSA et sont membres de votre unité avant le début de votre élection. Étape 3: Une fois que vous avez des candidats pour vos postes ou si votre date limite de mise en candidature est passée et que vous êtes prêt à tenir une élection s'il vous plaît visitez le formulaire ci-dessous et Arizona PTA mettra en place vos élections pour vous en ligne ! Vous aurez besoin du titre et de la durée de chaque poste pour l'élection. Si vous n'avez pas de candidat pour un poste, assurez-vous de toujours inclure le poste sur le formulaire. Ces informations devraient ressembler à ceci : Président, mandat d'un an, 2020-2021 ; premier vice-président, mandat de deux ans, 2020-2022 ; etc. Vos titres et termes sont décrits dans les règles permanentes de votre unité locale. Veuillez avoir le(s) nom(s) de chaque candidat pour chaque bureau disponible lors de la soumission de ce formulaire. Vous devrez énumérer toute personne qui a indiqué une acceptation à courir pour ce bureau. Veuillez vous assurer que le candidat a accepté la nomination avant de remplir ce formulaire! Veuillez vérifier que le candidat est membre de votre unité avant l'élection.
