School Community Council (SCC)
The Utah State Legislature passed a law in 2000 requiring every public school in the state to establish a school community council at the school-site level (Utah Code. Section 53A-1a-108). Each School Community Council consists of the principal, school employees, and parents or guardians of students attending the school. The School Community Council determines their school’s greatest academic need and prepares a plan to address that need with the school’s portion of the money distributed from the School LAND Trust program.
For more information on School Community Councils, please visit www.schools.utah.gov/schoollandtrust to find invaluable resources. It includes information about elections and the responsibilities of council members along with timelines, checklists and other training materials.
If you are interested in participating in or being part of the School Community Coucil at Mountain Ridge, please contact the principal for more information.
