Every school has a School Community Council consisting of the principal, elected teachers, and a majority of elected parents. Effective school community councils and trust lands committees work to address the most important academic needs of the students. Some of the council's activities are required by law, but most are simply expressions of the community-spirited individuals trying to do what they know must help the students succeed.

School improvements are the responsibility of everyone, from students and parents to professionals and public officials. As we clarify roles, expectations, and responsibilities, we increase each contributing significantly to this most important enterprise. Our children's future academic success is at stake. School Community Councils are one way we can work together to make schools more successful. A council is an advisory body. All of its actions are overseen by the local school board. School Community Councils assist in the development of the following:

School Improvement Plan

Professional Development Plan

Reading Achievement Plan

Safe Routes to School Plan

The HMK School Community Council (SCC) meets at 3:30 on the first Monday of every month at HMK in conference room 2. The Council uses Roberts's Rule of Order.
