Local School Leadership Council

The Local School Leadership Council (LSLC) is a shared decision-making body, composed of elected parents, community members, school personnel, and the Student Body President and Vice President (students in Leadership). The LSLC works cooperatively to make decisions in these areas of the school program:

  1. School calendar
  2. Professional development schedule
  3. Budget for instructional materials
  4. Student discipline guidelines
  5. Guidance for school equipment

The Local School Leadership Council (LSLC) program was created in 1989, in response to teacher demands for schools to have more local control.  The Council allows parent, teachers, other school staff members to contribute to planning that affects their school.

LSLC's primary purpose is to influence the budgeting of funds, but it is also in charge of event scheduling and other areas.
