The Local School Council (LSC) is responsible for:

1. Approving the school based academic plan or Continuous Improvement Work Plan (CIWP)

2. Approving the alignment of budgetary resources to the CIWP

3. Engaging in the annual evaluation of contract principal’s professional practices

4. Selecting or renewing contract principals

​

During the meetings we hear update from the LSC Chairperson, the LSC Subcommittees, the Hamilton Action Team and the Principal. Meetings are open to the public except for items related to personnel performance (i.e., principal review, retention and selection). Any closed meeting will be announced at least 48 hours prior, and will be announced as a “Closed Meeting.”

​

The Hamilton LSC has four subcommittees, three specifically devoted to a focus area of the LSC and a fourth made up of teachers called the Professional Planning Learning Committee (PPLC). 

​

For the 2023-2024 school year the LSC is excited to have a student member at our meetings who will update the council on Student Voice Committee Meetings and be a voice for the students in council matters.
