Our School Site Council Needs 2 More Parent/Guardian Representatives 

Serve a 2 Year Term

The school site council is a group of teachers, parents/guardians, and classified employees that works with the principal to develop, review and evaluate school improvement programs and school budgets. The members of the site council are elected by their peers. Parents elect the parent representatives and teachers elect teachers.

Over the course of a year, a typical council might consider the goals of the school or district and then work with the principal to evaluate the school’s progress toward those goals. In this evaluation, the council might consider school test scores, attendance and discipline records, parent surveys and input from students. Because school budgets are limited and many funds can only be spent in certain ways, there are always tough decisions to make. 

Site Council Meetings take place from 2:40 - 3:30pm monthly on the 3rd Tuesday of the month. These meetings are in-person at Camas Ridge Community School. The term of service for the Site Council is a two year commitment so please note that if you cannot make these meeting times or serve the full 2 year term you will not be able to apply this year.

Parents/Guardians that are interested can email their name and a paragraph about themselves and why they are interested in serving to camasridgepto@gmail.com by February 27th. If more than 2 parents/guardians are interested in participating then there will be an election. Paper ballots will be sent home in Friday Folders on February 21st. For Questions please contact either Principal Hobie (blackhorn_h@4j.lane.edu) or the Camas Ridge Community Organization (camasridgepto@gmail.com)
