What is the School Community Council and what do they do?
Every school must have a School Community Council that consists of the principal, school employees and parents. The majority of the council members are parents who epresent the 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, and 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
Get involved in the Community Council:
Every Utah public school has a school community council consisting of the principal, elected school employees and parents. Parent members must exceed the principal and staff by at least two. Parent members are elected by parents. Parent input is important in the decisions made by councils.
Why Participate?
Improved student success and well-being for ALL students
Engaged parent representation in decision making will allow for greater equity A diverse pool of parent viewpoints helps bridge cultural gaps
If you are willing to participate, you must have a student who attends our school. Speak to the principal, or a member of the community council about the process to get involved. Elections are held each year in the fall.

We discussed the purpose of the community council and some of the responsibilities to review plans. We discussed the safety of the students and how we can encourage a few parents to not use the parking lot as a drop off area. (Lindsey Hooley was going to check into a professionally made sing, or Mr. Thomas will put up a sign as a reminder to people to not drive through the parking lot.
