School Community Council

The School Community Council encourages communication between parents, employees and administrators. It encourages all to be involved in establishing and implementing educational goals for students.

The following information is from The Shared Governance Handbook. The SCC provides a "cooperative means of improving the educational programs and conditions" within the school.  Decisions and responsibilities allocated to the SCC by the Utah law includes:  

  • Developing a School Improvement Plan (SIP)

  • Developing the School LAND Trust Program

  • Develop and implement a child access routing plan (safe walking routes to and from school)

  • Advising and making recommendations to school and school district administrators and the local school board regarding the school and its programs, school district programs, and other issues relating to the community environment for students
