title: Ikastola Parents' Assembly
|
|
description: >-
|
|
A Basque practice in which the parents of an ikastola — a Basque-medium
|
|
cooperative school — govern the school through a general assembly, with
|
|
each family holding a voice. Ikastolas emerged during the Franco era as
|
|
grassroots Basque language schools and remain parent-cooperative in
|
|
governance.

steps:
|
|
- headline: Convene all families
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The ikastola convenes a general assembly of all families whose
|
|
children attend. Each family, not each parent, holds a voice in the
|
|
governance of the school.
|
|
- headline: Present with full accounts
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The governing board presents the school's accounts, educational
|
|
plan, and staff situation, shared in advance so families arrive
|
|
informed.
|
|
- headline: Deliberate on direction
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The assembly deliberates on the school's direction — pedagogical
|
|
choices, Basque-language policy, finances, staffing — with all
|
|
families able to speak.
|
|
- headline: Vote by family
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The assembly votes on decisions, each family casting one vote. The
|
|
board is elected or confirmed from among the families.
|
|
- headline: Mandate the board
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The assembly mandates the board to implement the decisions, with the
|
|
board accountable to the next assembly.
|
|
outcome: >-
|
|
A Basque-medium school is governed by the families whose children
|
|
attend, with direction set by assembly and implemented by an
|
|
accountable board.
|
|
practice: >-
|
|
The family-as-member structure is what makes an ikastola cooperative,
|
|
not state. If families disengage and the board self-perpetuates, the
|
|
form drifts toward ordinary school governance. |
