• What is a School Council?

    A school council is a representative, school-building-based committee comprised of the principal, parents, teachers, and community members who work together to establish goals, shape the policies and programs of the school, and improve student achievement. The school council assists the principal in:

    1. Adopting educational goals for the school that are consistent with local educational policies and statewide student performance standards

    2. Identifying the educational needs of students attending the school

    3. Reviewing the annual school building budget

    4. Formulating a school improvement plan

    School councils also serve as a voice and sounding board for the school community. Each member of the council is available to hear concerns and suggestions from parents, teachers, students, and the community at large.

    The Winthrop School Advisory Council consists of parent representatives, teacher representatives, administrative representatives, and one community representative. The mission of the School Advisory Council is to develop the school improvement plan through monthly meetings with input from all different representatives involved in the school: parents, teachers, administration, and community members.

    The Winthrop School Council typically meets once per month on a Tuesday at 7:00 PM alternating in-person and via Zoom. All in-person meetings are held in the Winthrop Cafeteria.   All school council meetings are open to the public and all parents are welcome to attend.
