Community Councils play a 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.
The charge to analyze data, identify needs, set goals and align resources—and then report back on progress– establishes Community Councils as providing front-line accountability to our school communities.
Thank you to the West Valley Community Council for working together to support all students learning at the highest levels.
