Community Council

Rolling Meadows belongs to the community of its boundaries. Community Councils play a very significant role in improving student achievement in each local school. By sharing their unique perspectives and expertise, parents, teachers, and administrators have a wonderful opportunity to address the critical academic needs of the school.

Are you interested in joining our Community Council?

School Community Councils are elected parent/guardian and employee representatives who work together with the principal to increase student achievement. Parents elect parent representatives, and we are looking for additional council members! To be eligible, a parent must have a student enrolled in the school for at least one of the years and may not be employed by the school for more than an average of six hours per week per month.

Funding for the 2020-21 School Year is $54,630.54 from the State Landtrust budget. We also had a carry-over of $21,338.31 from the 2019-2020 school year. The total for this year is $75,968.55. Carry over money was due to school closures for COVID 19 that resulted in the inability to finish the planned expenditures which included substitutes for planning and preparation time for teachers and para educators.

The 20-21 plan includes money to pay for additional para educators to help teachers meet the needs of both distance and in person students. It will be used to facilitate small group instruction in both modalities to improve growth of individual students and improve scores on our end of the year testing. The money is also being used to pay .5 of a teacher to decrease class sizes in the lower grades. This will give students additional help and support in developing those critical early math and reading skills. There is also money to increase the number of books in our library to help develop a love for reading and improve those skills in our students.
