What is SBDM (Site-Based Decision Making)? We are a committee of staff, parents and students who work with the principal to set goals and implement strategies to improve our school community.
Various subcommittees focus on particular areas of need. A new subcommittee is being formed to evaluate current and future curriculum to better support teacher and student needs. This will be comprised of parents and teachers from middle school and elementary grades.
*At least one each from elementary and middle school grades
Subcommittee meeting dates are to be determined.
SBDM General Meetings are virtual @ 7:00 PM on 9/11/23 (past), 11/13/23, 2/12/24 and 4/29/24.
