The Site Council (SC) is intended to be a decision-making body that represents a variety of voices within the school community. The requirements and purpose of the site council is outlined in Corbett School District Policy. The school administration, teachers, other school personnel, parents or community members, and students (secondary level) are members of the site council. Their primary responsibility is to identify common goals and assist the leadership team in establishing a plan to achieve the goals of the school instructional program and the district. The key to a successful SC depends upon a good working relationship among all members of the Council. Each member of the Council brings a unique perspective and knowledge of the school’s and district’s needs during SC meetings. Email Marleen Carroll at mcarroll@corbett.k12.or.us for more information.
