The proposed amendment seeks changes to the composition of the Board of Educational Affairs so that one seat could be held by an APA High School or Community College Teacher Affiliate member. An explanatory statement will accompany the bylaws amendment ballot. The council voted not to include pro/con statements with the proposed amendment.
