School Site Council is an elected group of parents, teachers, students and staff working together to improve our school's education programs. School site councils were developed in response to California law, which requires them to allocate and monitor the School Improvement Grant, Gifted and Talented Education (GATE) funding, as well as develop and oversee the Single Plan for Student Achievement - a document that guides school improvement.
At Canyon Crest Academy, Site Council members are also responsible for keeping informed on legislative changes affecting education, and advising the administration on campus issues.
In 2009-2010 two parent Site Council positions are open. Nominees who have submitted their self-nomination forms are listed below. To vote, click HERE. Voting closes on September 30, 2009 at 3pm.
