If your school committee would like to champion one of the expiring resolutions, it requires a vote of your committee, and if passed, an email from the Chair and/or the Recording Secretary of the Committee will need to be sent to Jason Fraser, MASC Resolutions Committee Chair, at jfraser@slrsd.org with the results of the vote.
If five or more committees from two or more geographical MASC Divisions pass the same resolution, that resolution bypasses the Resolutions Committee and the MASC Board of Directors and goes straight to the voting members of the Delegate Assembly in November of 2025.
Submissions of new resolutions are also being accepted at this time.
