Site Council - Pima Elementary School

Site Council - Pima Elementary School Site Council The school site council is a group of teachers, parents, classified employees, and students (at the high school level) that works with the principal to develop, review and evaluate school improvement programs and school budgets. Over the course of a year, a typical council might consider the goals of the school or district and then work with the principal to evaluate the school’s progress toward those goals. In this evaluation, the council might consider school test scores, attendance and discipline records, parent surveys and input from students. ARS 15-351 The purpose of this section is to ensure that individuals who are affected by the outcome of a decision at the school site share in the decision making process. Each school shall establish a school council.  A governing board may delegate to a school council the responsibility to develop a curriculum and may delegate any additional powers that are reasonably necessary to accomplish decentralization.  The school council shall take into consideration the ethnic composition of the local community and, except as provided in section 15-352, shall consist of the following members: Parents or guardians of pupils enrolled in the school.  A parent or guardian who is employed by the school district may serve as a member of the school council if the parent or guardian is not employed at the same school where the parent or guardian's child is enrolled. Teachers. Noncertified employees. Community members. Pupils, if the school is a high school. The principal of the school. Each group specified in subsection B of this section shall select its school council appointees and shall submit the names of its respective representatives to the principal.  The initial representatives shall be selected at public meetings held at the school site, and, thereafter, representatives shall be selected by their groups in the manner determined by the school council.  Schools shall give notice of the public meeting where the initial representatives of the groups shall be selected, clearly stating its purpose, time and place.  The notice shall be posted in at least three different locations at the school site and in the community and shall be given to pupils for delivery to their parents or guardians. The governing board shall determine the initial number of school council members.  Thereafter, the school council shall determine the number. The number of teachers and parents or guardians of pupils enrolled at the school shall be equal.  Teachers and parents or guardians of pupils enrolled at the school shall constitute a majority of the school council members. The school council shall adopt written guidelines that specify the number of school council members and the methods for the selection of school council members. The principal shall serve as chairman of the school council unless another person is elected by a majority of the school council members. 2025 - 2026 2024 - 2025 2022 - 2024 2021 - 2022 2019 - 2020 September 25, 2025 Minutes Administrator Principal Hodo Classified Staff Ms. Shipley Teachers Ms. Haas Mrs. Woulfe Mrs. Bobbett Parents Mrs. Bass Mr. Cuene Quarter 1 September 12, 2024 Agenda Minutes Quarter 2 December 5, 2024 Agenda Minutes Quarter 3 February 27, 2025 Agenda Minutes Quarter 4 April 4, 2025 Agenda Minutes Quarter 4 April 17, 2025 Agenda Minutes 09/2022 Agenda Minutes 11/2022 Agenda Minutes 02/2023 Agenda Minutes 05/2023 Agenda Minutes 09/2023 Agenda Minutes 11/2023 Agenda Minutes 02/2024 Agenda Minutes 2022-2023 Bylaws Administrator - Principal Hodo Teacher - Ms. Haas Parent - Mrs. Cuene Meetings 09/20/2021 Agenda Minutes 11/15/2021 Agenda Minutes 2/14/2022 Agenda Minutes Meeting Minutes Date: September 19, 2019 Meeting called to order by Principal Alexis Freeman 7:30am.
