Local School Council

The LSC is responsible for three main duties including: approving how school funds and resources are allocated; developing and monitoring the school's Continuous Improvement Work Plan (CIWP); and evaluating and selecting the school's principal. Local School Councils include the following members: 6 parents, 2 community members, 2 teachers, 1 non-teacher staff, and the school's principal.

LSC Members


Parent, community, teacher and non-teaching staff representatives serve a two-year term beginning July 1 after each election and ending June 30 two years later.  The most recent election was held in the spring of 2022; the current LSC Members’ terms will conclude on July 1, 2024.

Meeting Schedule


All meetings are held in the school library. Please see below or the school calendar on the home page for any updates to meeting times or dates.  We seek to make meetings as accessible to parents/caregivers as possible and thus stagger meetings times to accommodate various schedules.
