Rules Of Order and Procedure for Meetings

The School Community Council is a collaborative group of parents, teachers, and administrators that works together to enhance student achievement. All parents are invited to attend.  All parents are invited to serve on the community council.

A primary role of the council is to develop the annual School LAND Trust Plan. This plan is created by analyzing student test data to identify the school’s most significant academic needs. The funds received from the School LAND Trust are then allocated according to this plan. The council plays a key role in school improvement by determining the most effective way to use Trust LANDS funding.

For more information on the council’s activities and to view the current plan, please visit the School LAND Trust Website.

The Community Council has finalized the spending plan for the 2025-2026 school year, which includes both the Trust Lands Budget and the Teacher and Student Success Act (TSSA) Budget.

Students in grades 3-5 will increase their RISE proficiency in Math and Reading by 5%, while maintaining a growth score of 70% or higher.

Utah received 7 million acres of land at statehood to generate funding for schools and almost half of the land remains in a trust for public education. The School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration (SITLA) manages the trust land. The School and Institutional Trust Funds Office (SITFO) invests the endowment funds and a portion of the earnings comes to our school each year.
