School Site Council (SSC)

Help Lanai Road best respond to the educational and personal needs of our entire student body. Get involved with School Site
Council! This dynamic group, comprised of parents, teachers and administrators, meets monthly and specifically discusses
curriculum and school improvement programs.

School Site Council is a district mandated program and, at Lanai, we are proud of our especially active Council. An even number of
parents and teachers on the committee sets the stage for frank discussion, and provides an excellent forum for brainstorming and
implementing new ideas to broaden and better our school curriculum.

SSC meetings are open to all parents, teachers and administrators. Dates and times are posted on the Calendar Page of this
Website. For more information contact our SSC Chairperson, Jennifer Goosenberg.

What is School Site Council? Through the School Improvement Program, each participating school has a state-mandated School Site
Council composed of the principal, staff, parents, and community members and, at the secondary level, students. The council is a
decision-making body in (1) operating procedures and bylaws, (2) selecting and maintaining membership, (3) developing the school
plan and budget for Board of Education approval, and (4) evaluating the annual progress of educational improvement under the school
plan. The purpose of the School Improvement Program is to improve the local school's total instructional program by assessing the
skills and knowledge of students and by providing supplemental services that meet their needs. The School Improvement Program
receives funding from the state.

English Learners Advisory Committee (ELAC)

Generally, ELAC meetings are held once a month. Dates and times are posted on the Calendar Page of this Website. For more
information contact lanairoad@gmail.com.

What is English Learners Advisory Committee? The participants in these committees are parents of Limited English-Proficient (LEP)
students and they participate in the development, implementation, and evaluation of the local school's program for LEP students. They
advise the school on Bilingual funding issues since these programs receive state and district funding. Schools are responsible for
providing at least eight meetings to inform parents of the academic program for LEP students and budget items that directly impact
student learning.

ELAC Meeting Minutes are available in the school office.
