Site Council

ASHLAND SCHOOL DISTRICT
21STCENTURY SCHOOL COUNCILS
ANNUAL CHARTERING REPORT

The annual chartering of site councils is to ensure close communication between the Board and each site council.  That communication will facilitate the mutual support for site councils and Board goals.

Site Council meets the third Monday of every month in the library. Site Council is a great way to get involved in our school's instructional program to ensure success for all students. This year, our Site Council focus is Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion. While Site Council is open to Walker families, we are still hoping to increase the diversity of voices in the meetings. If you have a background in equity, diversity, or inclusion, or if you have experience working in the fields of social justice, environmental justice, social work, special education, therapy, foreign languages please join us!
