Site Council Meeting Dates, agendas and minutes

Responsibilities of the school site council include the following areas:

School Improvement Efforts: A major responsibility of the council is overseeing efforts for school improvements. The council is responsible for the Spencer Butte School Improvement Plan, updating, evaluating, and modifying the goals, strategies, and action plans. Council members need to be familiar with Oregon's Educational Act for the 21st Century, the Common Curriculum Goals, and other state documents and standards as well as the curriculum standards for the Eugene School District.

Program: Associated with school improvement efforts are decisions that need to be made regarding the program. Careful planning is required to assure that we are offering the best program possible for students given the budget restraints.

Budget: The council develops the yearly budget and prioritizes staff requests. Included in this process is making decisions regarding the distribution of money earned by the Butte Backers in the annual fundraiser.

Grant Writing And Coordination: The council is responsible for reviewing and approving grant applications.

Proposals To Staff: The council brings proposals to the staff for their vote for approval.
