School Community Council

What does a School Community Council Do?:

School Community Councils (SCC’s) improve educational programs and conditions at public schools. Councils operate using the shared governance approach: collaborative, site-based decision making to meet individual school improvement goals. Every public school in Utah has a community council consisting of two elected groups: parents (that’s you!) and teachers/administrators.

The Bastian SCC has responsibilities defined both by the Jordan School District and the Utah Legislature. Two of our biggest responsibilities are assisting in the development of School Improvement Plans (SIP’s) and LAND Trust Plans. SCC’s also work on issues brought forth by parents, staff, and faculty.

How can I become involved in Bastian's School Community Council?:

Each school year, three new parent positions will open up on the school community council and elections will take place to select candidates to complete a two-year term of service. Those elections take place in the fall, and notices will be be provided giving additional information about the nomination process, timeline, and election information.

You are also welcome to participate in any School Community Council meetings as a non-voting participant. You can read meeting minutes from our previous meetings, as well as reading reports about the school's current Land Trust Plan, TSSA Plan, or read reports about plans from previous school years using the links found on this page.

School Community Council Meetings and Bastian's Rules of Order and Procedure:

We invite you to attend Bastian Elementary SCC meetings to learn about our greatest academic needs, our School Improvement Plan and help in the decision-making process for using Land Trust funds. At Bastian, we also regularly discuss school safety, share District news, get PTA Updates, and talk about other important issues affecting our school. You have a voice and together we can make a positive difference in the education of our children!
