Composition Status
The SPAC composition status as of October 2008 is: Non-compliant
"Compliant" denote composition meets requirements, and is seating both migrant* and non-migrant representatives on the Council.
"Non-compliant" denote SPAC does not meet composition requirements. If a region holds elections for an SPAC representative, the CDE strongly encourages the region to elect a migrant parent representative. This will help the CDE meet statutory composition requirements for this Council.
*Migrant "representative" is defined as a migrant parent whose child possesses a current certificate of eligibility for the Migrant Education Program.
