Community Council is a great way for parents to get involved with the school in a meaningful way. The Community Council is charged with identifying needs in the school, and is provided with a significant budget generated from the state’s School Land Trust . This revenue source allows parents and teachers to create meaningful support systems for students in our local community.

Community Council members are elected to represent parents of the school. They participate in developing plans for improvement. Councils are made up of school employees who are elected by employees and parents who are elected by parents of students attending the school.  Membership terms are for two years.  Elections are held near the beginning of each school year. Any parent who has a student attending the school at least one of the two years of their term can apply. Please fill out this form to apply to be a member.

The School LAND Trust program brings tens of millions of dollars annually to academic programs in public schools across Utah. The funds are generated from school trust lands. These funds are the only discretionary funds many schools receive. The program runs entirely from this web site. Each public school in Utah elects a school community council consisting of parents, teachers, and the principal. Charter Schools have Trust Lands Councils. All councils have a two parent member majority. Each council carefully reviews student assessments and progress to decide which academic areas they want to focus on. Plans are developed to improve student academic performance in the identified academic areas with the annual School LAND Trust funds. The plans are approved by the council, submitted on this website, and approved by the local school board or chartering entity (Taken from the School Land Trust website at http://www.schoollandtrust.org/program).
