Agenda
Discussion:
What is SIC? School Improvement Council
o Elements of Sense of Community: Community Involvement & Meeting Needs
Why take the time to serve on an SIC?
• Because when parents are engaged in their children's education, their children do better in
school and the quality of the school improves.
• Because parents bring wisdom to the Council. They have in-depth knowledge about their own
children's strengths and needs as well as the perspectives of other families in the school.
• Because community members who are NOT parent of children in the schools still benefit from good
schools in the form of a stronger local economy and property values.
• Because citizens who are NOT parents of children in the schools also have unique contributions to
make to School Improvement Councils. Senior citizens, business people, members of the faith
community, staff of social service agencies, and others all have knowledge, experiences and
resources that can benefit their community's schools.
