School Advisory Council (SAC) Thank you to the parents who have signed up to serve on our SAC (School Advisory Council) team this year. We are, however, in need of more parents to join. Being part of the SAC team is a great way to get involved with our school and to help make school wide decisions. Please contact Mr. Willets (willetj@stjohns.k12.fl.us) or Mrs. Locke (lockej@stjohns.k12.fl.us) if you are interested in becoming a member. What is a School Advisory Council (SAC)? A SAC is a diverse group of stakeholders of a school, established through Florida Law, with shared goal of increasing student achievement in a safe learning environment. A SAC is comprised of the Principal, teachers, education support staff, parents, business people and community members. The majority of the members must be non school employees and members must be representative of the community. What is the role of SAC? The SAC assists in the preparation and evaluation of the School Improvement Plan (SIP) and acts as a resource to the school principal. The term advisory is intended to mean: inquiring, informing, suggesting, recommending and evaluating. What is the School Improvement Plan? "The whole point of school improvement is data-driven decision making. The process is SUPPOSED to be fairly simple and straight forward: The SAC reviews relevant data (which is much more than test scores), identifies problem areas, develops improvement strategies, monitors their implementation, and then starts the whole process over when the next round of data is available." -- KM, DOE Take a look at our 2011-2012 school improvement plan Take a look at our 2010-2011 school improvement plan Parental Involvement Policy 2012-2012 Student compact We will be meeting the first Thursday of each month.
