LSC elections are held on the second semester Report Card Pick-Up Day in April of every even-numbered year.

Parents and Community Representatives are elected, while Teacher and Student Representatives are appointed by the Board of Education.

A non-binding advisory poll of faculty and staff is also held on the second semester Report Card Pick-Up Day in April of every even-numbered year to determine the preferences of faculty and staff regarding the appointment of teachers to the LSC. The results are sent to the Board, which will appoint two teacher representatives to each LSC.

Students may submit statements of candidacy to the principal during the 20th and 21st weeks of school. During the 22nd week of school, the principal will conduct a non-binding advisory poll of students to determine the preferences of students regarding the appointment of a student to the LSC. The results are sent to the Board, which will appoint a student representative after the twelfth week of the second semester.

Term of Office

Parent, community, and teacher representatives serve a two-year term beginning July 1 after each election and ending June 30, two years later. Student representatives serve a one-year term beginning July 1 and ending June 30 the following year.
