Your commitment is 6 meetings per year at a time decided upon by the School Governance Council.
School Governance Councils were created by the state’s recent education reform law (Public Act 10-111) to enable parents, school staff, students and community leaders to work together to improve student achievement in the state’s schools. School Governance Councils serve in an advisory capacity and are charged with assisting the school administration in making programmatic and operational changes to improve the school’s achievement.
How is Membership determined?
The School Governance Councils required under C.G.S. Sec. 10-223e must be established through school-wide elections and they have very specific membership requirements. Students, teachers/staff and parents must be elected to the Council.
Serving as a council member will require time, energy and a willingness to listen. Members should:
Put children first;
Be a team player; and
Be willing to learn.
