Community Council
Parent involvement is very important to student academic achievement. By serving on the school council, parents have the opportunity to collaborate with other parents, teachers and the principal to set and achieve school goals. Parents are rewarded with a better understanding of the educational process and have the opportunity to develop relationships with school leadership. A parent always serves as chair of the council. Parents make up the majority of the council and are often the driving force in how School LAND Trust funds are spent.

Community Council Minutes - March 28, 2019
In Attendance - Cynthia Smith, Laurie Armour, Lori East, Laura Wangsgaard, Ivan Carroll
- Notes
- Principal Smith went through the PowerPoint she created for suggestions for the next year’s land trust funds.
- Review of the Graduation and Literacy Goals for the district
- 3 Areas of concentration at Mount Ogden - Academic (continue with goals and classes), Talent Development, and Social-Emotional (sense of Belonging - very low on survey)
- To address all areas of concentration, one of the main plans of action is to “go all-in” on AVID, which will improve the school culture and at the same time increase literacy and graduation rates. There is vertical and horizontal alignment and AVID is a system that addresses instruction, procedures, leadership, and culture.
- Budget Proposal
- Focus on teachers (math and English)
- Math and Reading Programs
- AVID - training of staff, etc.
- Concern: Parents need information on AVID to help them understand the system.
- Vote was taken on the proposed Budget - Unanimous agreement for acceptance of the proposed budget
- Note: Absent members voted for the plan via email, and there was unanimous agreement for acceptance of the budget and plan.

Consejo Comunitario
La participación de los padres es muy importante para el logro académico del estudiante. Al servir en el consejo de la escuela, los padres tienen la oportunidad de colaborar con otros padres, maestros y el director para establecer y alcanzar las metas de la escuela. Los padres son recompensados con una mejor comprensión del proceso educativo y tienen la oportunidad de desarrollar relaciones con el liderazgo escolar. Un padre siempre sirve como presidente del consejo. Los padres constituyen la mayoría del consejo y son a menudo la fuerza impulsora en cómo se gastan los fondos fiduciarios de la escuela LAND.
