SCHOOL COMMUNITY COUNCIL ELECTIONS
School Community Councils are elected parent/guardian and employee representatives who work together with the principal to increase student achievement. By law the Council is responsible to review school data and develop plans for school improvement. Councils also allocate the Land Trust funds to assist the school in reaching achievement goals. Please see the School Land Trust web page for more information regarding the roles and responsibilities of Community Councils (www.schoollandtrust.org).
Parents elect parent representatives and employees elect employee representatives for a two-year term. To be eligible, a parent must have a student enrolled in the school for at least one of the years. A parent representative may work for the district, but not this school. The SCC must have two parent representatives more than employee representatives. Elections are held in the fall. We currently have three parent openings. Nominations will be open until September 1st at 3:30 PM. The election will take place September 2nd through the 7th.
The District holds SCC trainings to help you understand your responsibilities. Those trainings occur in September 9th and 14th. See the schedule on page 2 for more details.
We invite you to become involved in your school’s Community Council by declaring your candidacy. Please return this form by September 1st at 3:30 PM to Principal Scott Jameson scott.jameson@canyonsdistrict.org
