Charter Councils (Elected)

Council Icon black    

Charter Councils are primarily composed of parents or grandparents of currently enrolled students and may also include members of the school staff or local community. These councils review school data and develop School LAND Trust Plans to strategically allocate funds toward identified academic needs, while also aiming to involve parents in school-level decision-making, and enhance the overall educational environment.

 

If your Charter Governing Board is serving as the Council, please visit the Charter Governing Board page for applicable information.

 

  • Provide meaningful input on school-specific issues.
  • Review and analyze school data to identify areas where students excel and where improvement is needed.

    • Setting goals
    • Defining academic area(s) of focus
    • Establishing how progress will be measured
    • Outlining action steps
    • Determining expenditures
