Local School Council 2025-2026

By law, Local School Councils (LSCs) play a role in decision-making at the local school level. The primary responsibilities of LSCs include approving how school funds and resources are allocated, approving and monitoring the implementation of the annual school improvement plan, and hiring and evaluating the school's contract principal. All parents are welcome to apply for vacant positions on our LSC.  See Manda Lukic, our principal, for an application to join our LSC.
