Advisory Council
The Advisory Council is comprised of members appointed by the school's Executive Board. All meetings are public. The Advisory Council, also known as the School Governing Board Committee, provides policy reviews, advice, recommendations, and other input to the Executive Board as prescribed by Arizona statutes. Transparency and well-rounded, data-driven decision-making are enhanced through an effective partnership between the Advisory Council and the Executive Board.
The Advisory Council typically meets at least twice quarterly, generally on the last Wednesday of an announced month in campus Room #11 at 5:30 pm. Parents and the public are always welcome at Advisory Council meetings, which are subject to Arizona Public Meeting statutes. Agendas, Minutes, and supporting documents from Advisory Council meetings are maintained on the school website and in the school office.
Meeting agendas are posted online and on the school's Office Bulletin Board a minimum of 24 hours in advance of all public meetings.
