Active and involved
School Advisory Councils play a vital role in the overall operation and
success of schools throughout Duval County and the State of Florida.
The councils, mandated by
the Florida Legislature in 1991, provide parents, students, faculty,
staff, and community and business members an opportunity to get involved
with a school's long-term mission and short term objectives by
participating in the development of education priorities and the
assessment of school needs.
The primary
objective of the SAC, whose membership must consist of a majority of
individuals not employed by the school, is to assist in the preparation,
evaluation, and implementation of the school improvement plan.
School Advisory
Councils, however, have numerous other responsibilities, which include
helping prepare and approve a school budget and studying various data,
such as test scores, which determine student success.
