Local School Councils are the site-based management team of each school. Their primary responsibilities are to select the school´s principal, renew the principal’s contract, develop the School Improvement Plan for Advancing Academic Achievement (SIPAAA) and developing the school´s budget for the school year.

Local School Councils are made up of the principal, teachers, parents and community members.

High school LSCs consist of 12 voting members:

1 - Principal
6 - Parent Representatives
2 - Community Representatives
2 - Teacher Representatives
1 - Student Representative*

* The student representative is not eligible to vote on personnel matters including, but not limited to, principal selection, evaluation, and retention; contractual agreements; and the allocation of teaching and staff resources.
