Two student members sit on the board, but only have "advisory votes."

The first round, called the advisory vote, is open to all parents in the district.

The community board put off its advisory vote until December, amid continuing disputes and questions about the plan.

In May, 5,000 parents submitted advisory votes, down from 25,000 in 2009.

The Department of Education maintains that the advisory vote by parents makes the elections more inclusive.

Currently they can only express their disapproval through an advisory vote.

The proposal, which asked that shareholders be given an advisory vote on executive pay at Verizon each year, is not binding.

The sitting student trustee has an advisory vote on the Board.

The community board, number 7, cast an advisory vote against that plan.

If the proposal passes, it will give the company's investors the right to an advisory vote on executive pay practices at Verizon.
