CCSD looks for local school governance team members

The Clarke County School District schedules elections to fill the next openings on the District's Local School Governance Teams. They'll be held March 20 through 29, coinciding with the next round of Clarke County School District parent-teacher conferences. Three parents and three teachers are elected to serve on each school's LSGT. Team members approve and monitor the school growth plan, help identify student, and family needs and provide input into budget, personnel, and other school district decisions.
From the CCSD…

Schools throughout the Clarke County School District will hold elections for their Local School Governance Teams March 20-29.

LSGTs allow parents, community members and educators to have a greater voice in important decisions regarding their school. Three parents and three teachers are elected to serve on each school’s LSGT. Together with the principal, they select three community members and, at the middle and high schools, one student representative to join the team.

“The Clarke County School District is a charter system, and LGSTs are an essential part of the charter system model,” said Claire Suggs, Chief of Community Engagement & Strategic Partnerships for CCSD. “We invite parents and educators to consider serving on their school’s LSGT and play a key role in helping each school grow, plan for the years ahead and constantly improve to benefit students.”

LSGT members approve and monitor the school growth plan, help to identify student and family needs and provide input into budget, personnel and other important decisions. They also serve as advocates for their schools and participate in the principal hiring process by selecting finalists.

Elections will begin during parent-teacher conferences March 20-22 and continue through March 29. For more information on CCSD's charter system model, the role of Local School Governance Teams and to submit your name for consideration, please visit https://www.clarke.k12.ga.us/lsgt.
