What is Site Council?
The Lake Harriet Community School (LHCS) Site Council is the school’s site leadership team. As the advisory and planning body for LHCS, it is a forum for staff and parents to provide direction to the administration and to enhance student achievement. The purpose of the Site Council is to examine existing or proposed policies and procedures and make recommendations to ensure sustained student achievement. It’s a tremendous way to learn about how our school functions and to hear insight and perspectives from Staff and Parents at both campuses as well as and District representatives. 

The Site Council’s responsibilities include, but are not limited to; long-range planning, monitoring of the school budget, advocating for our school’s needs and regular assessment of the effectiveness of LHCS's shared-decision making. Our current subcommittees are the Academic SubCommittee and the Equity SubCommittee.

Site Council members serve a 2 year term (with an option to extend to a third year), with parent membership balanced to represent all students. Commitment is one Site Council meeting a month, with additional as needed meetings for subcommittees.
