School Community Council
September 25, 2024
Dear Parents and Guardians of Washington Elementary Students,
Every public school in Utah has a School Community Council. The councils are made up of school employees who are elected by employees and parents who are elected by parents of students attending the school. Membership terms are for two years. Elections are held at the beginning of each school year.
Parent members must have a student attending the school at least one of the two years of their term of service. Employees must be employed by the school district at the school.
For more information please visit: School LAND Trust
This year our initial Community Council meeting will be held at 7:45am on:
- Thursday, October 10th – The agenda and more information can be found on our school website. (https://wes.washk12.org/community-council)
We would love your thoughts, input, and ideas. If you would be willing to serve on our Washington Elementary School Community Council please contact Mr. Baker before October 10th(email: gro.21khsaw@rekab.mada or phone: 435-673-3012). All School Community Council meetings are open to the public and all are welcome to attend.
What a School Community Council is responsible for:
Our School Community Council is primarily responsible for the creation of our School LAND Trust Plan. This plan is created annually by analyzing our school testing data to determine the greatest academic need. The money our school receives from the School LAND Trust fund is allocated according to our plan. Plans are written to help meet the needs of each student. Washington Elementary has received over $542,000 since funds have been dispersed to Utah schools beginning in 2001. These funds have been allocated and used at our school to help meet our greatest academic need. Over the years our school has purchased technology to support student learning, books for our leveled library, math manipulatives, science materials, and we’ve been able to hire additional personnel to support targeted learning in small groups.
Thank you for your support of our school and our efforts to improve your children’s education.
