Evansdale School
Council is made up of 11 members (six elected parents or guardians of Evansdale
students, two local business persons, two teachers and the school
principal) who meet monthly to provide advice, recommendations, and
assistance to Dr. McGuire and our county board of education. School Council
members serve two-year terms and elections occur in the spring of each
year. All individuals with a child at
Evansdale are eligible to run for a position on School Council and to vote in
the election.
The School Council provides advice and recommendations
to the school principal and, where appropriate, the local board of education
and local school superintendent on any matter related to student achievement
and school improvement. The
responsibilities of school council members include: maintenance of a
school-wide perspective on issues, regular participation in school council
meetings, participation in information and training programs, serving as a link
between the school council and the community, encouraging participation of
parents and others within the school community, working to improve student
achievement and performance, advancing the school’s stated mission, and working
to improve the school’s operations.
Evansdale’s School Council meets the first Tuesday of
every month (except December, June, and July) at 5 p.m. in the Media
Center. These meetings are open to the
public; however, meetings are not open to public comment unless the individual
has requested placement on the agenda at least one week prior to the scheduled
meeting. Minutes from the School Council
meetings are posted on the information board at the school.
