School Community Council (SCC)

We invite parents and community members to have a greater voice in our school's affairs by providing feedback through our online SCC Input Form. To participate, please visit this link to share your thoughts on our school’s instructional programs and academic improvement plans. Your involvement ensures that those closest to our students are helping shape the future of our school, leading to greater success for every child.

School Community Council Input Form

Purpose

Act 51 established School Community Councils to give parents, the community, and other key stakeholders a significantly greater voice in their local school's affairs. This framework also clearly outlines their specific powers and responsibilities and clarifies how they share those duties with the principal.

The policies created by the Hawaii State Board of Education and the Hawaii State Department of Education to put these councils in place are based on three common-sense ideas:

The people closest to the students should have more involvement in making important decisions about the school's instructional program.
A school's plan to improve student academic performance will get more support when people understand the plan and help create it.
Children and their schools are more successful when families participate in their education in various ways, including being part of the decision-making process.

SCC Community Meetings

The School Community Council (SCC) typically meets once a month in the library, following the faculty meeting. All parents, community members, and faculty are welcome to attend. A meeting notice and agenda will be posted on the school website at least six days prior to each meeting.
