Local School Council

Functions of an LSC

The Newberry Local School Council is the site-based management team of the school. The LSC also determines how school funds and resources are allocated and monitors the budget on an ongoing basis. The LSC directly evaluates and selects the school principal and determines whether the principal’s contract will be renewed at the end of its term. In addition, the LSC advises the principal on attendance and disciplinary policies at the school in accordance with Board rules; it may initiate a policy regarding uniforms or dress codes if requested; it also may grant the use of assembly halls and classrooms when not otherwise needed pursuant to Board Rules and Policies.

Overall, the Newberry LSC oversees that the programs and policies implemented by the school are in accordance to the school’s Mission and that the school’s goals are achieved.
