School Advisory Council
The School Advisory Council meets monthly to discuss
school improvement issues. The SAC annually reviews and
revises the school improvement plan based on a needs
assessment. Issues related to SIP budgets, AYP status,
motivation of students, FCAT testing and other school
activities are discussed and acted upon at monthly SAC
meetings.
A School Advisory Council is an elected committee made
up of parents, staff, administrators, businesses,
community members and students (in secondary schools)
who work together to help a school improve. By state
law, school boards must establish an advisory council
for each school.
The SAC has elected Mrs. Davis (Parent) as their chair,
and Miss Longshore (teacher) as the secretary.
The School Improvement Plan is posted on the school web
and minutes of the meetings are made available to the
community.
The role of a School Advisory Council is to assist in
the preparation of the annual budget, and in the
development and evaluation of the School Improvement
Plan. The SAC is the school committee that deals with
issues relating to school improvement. The General
Appropriations Act provides a portion of funds for use
by the SAC that is to be used for implementing the
School Improvement Plan.
