School Site Council

Welcome to Riverview Elementary

 

The school site council is a group of teachers and parents that works with the principal to develop, review and evaluate school improvement programs and school budgets.  The members of the site council are generally elected by their peers.  For example, parents elect the parent representatives and teachers elect teachers.

 

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.

 

School site council members don’t just represent their own interests.  They have an obligation to make decisions that will best serve the whole school community.  In fact, many site councils are specifically charged with finding ways to close gaps in achievement between groups of students.

 

We strongly encourage you to be involved in such an important council.
