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 Granite District web page for more information regarding the roles and responsibilities of community councils.
