School Community Council (SCC)

School Community Council Information

The School Community Council is an advisory board that consists of the principal, two other school employees, and at least four parents or guardians of students who attend the school. Each parent or guardian is elected for a 2-year term. The council meets in the Conference Room from 3:20 to 4:30 p.m. on the third Tuesday of each month. All meetings are open to the public, but only members of the Council may vote on the issues. The agenda for each meeting will be posted on the school website, prior to each meeting. This council also oversees the decisions regarding the use of Utah trust land revenue. A parent-driven council at Timpanogos Elementary School prepares a plan each year to address the greatest academic need of the school with their share of the distribution from the state land trust.

Time Commitment

The SCC meets 6-8 times during the school year for approximately 1 hour. (Exact dates and times will be determined by committee member availability and then posted on the school website.) This is a small time commitment that can have a great impact! Phs

Invitation to Participate

If you would like to participate in our School Community Council meetings, we would welcome any parent or community member to the meetings. The meetings will be posted on our school website calendar and reminders sent through the school “Remind” app. If you have any questions, please contact the school office (801-374-4955).

School Land Trust Program

The School LAND Trust program brings tens of millions of dollars annually to academic programs in public schools across Utah. The funds are generated from school trust lands. These funds are the only discretionary funds many schools receive. The program runs entirely from this web site. Each public school in Utah elects a school community council consisting of parents, teachers, and the principal. Charter Schools have Trust Lands Councils. All councils have a two parent member majority. Each council carefully reviews student assessments and progress to decide which academic areas they want to focus on. Plans are developed to improve student academic performance in the identified academic areas with the annual School LAND Trust funds. The plans are approved by the council, submitted on this website, and approved by the local school board or chartering entity. Other Information: The Utah Legislature has assigned councils responsibilities for school safety and digital citizenship. As with other responsibilities of school community councils, it is intended that administrators, staff, and parents engage together to bring about the best possible result for students.
