Background

Under state law, all public schools are mandated to have elected School Councils, made up of parent, community and staff representatives, including the principal. The KO School Council works with Tim Groves on budget priorities, develops the school improvement plan, speaks for King Open in the wider school/city community, oversees the subcommittee structure, and discusses school-wide issues and events. Parent members of the council bring parent concerns and questions and ideas to Council meetings. The School Council holds meetings once a month open to all staff and parents, who are invited to join in discussions. (Childcare is available for most meetings.) Members serve on the school council for a 2-year term and are elected in the fall of the school year.

Meeting minutes and other School Council-related documents are available on the password-protected download page.  The password will be published on the KO email lists.
