WHAT IS A SCHOOL COMMUNITY COUNCIL? HOW CAN I SERVE?
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 School District web page for more information regarding the roles and responsibilities of Community Councils (www.graniteschools.org).
Parents elect parent representatives and employees elect employees for two-year terms. 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.
We invite you to become involved in your school’s Community Council by declaring your candidacy. Please print and fill out this form if you are interested in running for a position on our school community council. Candidacy forms are sent out school wide each spring. Elections are held in August.
Welcome to our schools Community Council. Our purpose is to address the academic needs of students at the local level by evaluating and providing opportunities and programs for their benefit. Community members are invited to attend council meetings, but are not voting members. If you have a concern for your Community Council, please reach out to one of the council members. Council Members are chosen by election and are a mixture of school staff and community members. Candidacy and election procedures begin before each school year.

Serving on the Community Council allows parents to directly influence the way LAND Trust funds are used during the school year, which can include programs, materials, and other education-based solutions. Please visit this LAND Trust Public Report page to see the dollar amount our school receives each year from the School LAND Trust program, our school's final reports from the last two years, and a copy of our school's current LAND Trust plan. The actual, current, and expected funding history for each school can be found online using the LAND Trust Funding Report. Our council's Rules of Order and Procedure are being updated and will be posted here shortly.
