• • Class size and impact on student achievement

  • School budget

  • School climate, safety and discipline

  • Enhancement of parental involvement

  • Professional development

In addition, the council is charged with supporting the principal in developing an annual School Improvement Plan that will identify areas of concern, establish explicit goals, state objectives, name persons charged with responsibilities, and determine a timeline for measurable outcomes.

The School Council meets once a month at 5:30 PM from September through June, typically the first Tuesday of the month.  The term for the position is two years.
