District School Board

School Boards oversee the School LAND Trust program by establishing policies, timelines, and training for themselves, School Community Councils, and district administrators. They monitor program spending and compliance, assess final reports, and review School LAND Trust Plans and Council Signature forms to verify that all schools meet the requirements for funding.

Establish Clear Policies and Timelines for School Community Councils (SCCs):
- This includes setting a timeline for SCC elections, managing conflicts of interest, defining program deadlines, outlining district monitoring procedures, and establishing how SCC plans should align with district academic priorities.
Conduct Annual Training:
- Ensure that School Board members, School Community Council members, and District Administrators receive thorough training on their roles and responsibilities within the School LAND Trust program.
Actively Oversee Program Implementation and Monitor Spending:
- Regularly review how School LAND Trust funds are being used to verify that schools are meeting program requirements and utilizing the funds effectively to support student success.
Receive and Evaluate Annual Final Reports:
- Final Reports are carefully reviewed to assess the implementation of the program and how School LAND Trust funds were spent and the impact on student outcomes.
Review and Approve School LAND Trust Plans and Council Signature Forms:
- Ensure that all submitted School LAND Trust Plans and Council Signature forms comply with program regulations and are aligned with the district's overall academic priorities before approving the plan.
