Who is the School Community Council and what do they do?
Every school must have a School Community Council (council) that consists of the principal, school employees and parents. The majority of members are parents. Parents represent parent perspectives on issues and in votes made by the council. The council is responsible to review and propose changes to academic school plans each year. Parents consult with the principal on the Teacher and Student Success Plan. The School LAND Trust Plan, a component of the Teacher and Student Success Plan, is created by the council and outlines the school’s greatest academic needs and includes an action plan to address them. The plan is approved by the local school board and then implemented at the school. The School LAND Trust Plan is implemented with funds that increase every year. The council decides how the money is to be spent in the plan.
Councils have other responsibilities:
• Parents may bring issues of concern to the council seeking solutions. The council may choose to address them or recommend another group or entity better suited to implement solutions.
• The council may also create programs or projects to improve the parent, student, and faculty school experience.
• They may make recommendations to the administration of the school and district.
There was a minor medical issue on a bus at Carbon High this morning. Authorities were called as a precaution. All students are safe and school has been in session as normal.
