Who 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. Parents represent 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, 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

V- Adjourn – Next meeting:
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. Charter schools may use the charter board if it has a two-parent member majority or a process may be set up to elect a Charter Trust Lands Council with a two parent member majority. Parent members are elected by parents. Parent input is important in the decisions made by councils.
Creating Inclusive School Community Councils
Parent participation on school community councils is important. Councils prepare, adopt, and implement education plans at their school. Most Utah parents are still unaware and un-engaged, and many school community councils are not reflective of the diverse communities they represent. Building equitable representation from within the councils will give our state a greater community asset.
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.
