SCHOOL COMMUNITY COUNCILS - TRUST FUND DISBURSEMENT
Each K-12 school has a School Community Council, and every charter school has a Trust Land Council. The principal, teachers, and parents comprise each Council, which determines the greatest education needs at its particular school. Following discussion and voting, each Council allocates their School LAND Trust Funds accordingly. Many schools opt to purchase technology to improve computer labs, while others use School LAND Trust Funds to pay teacher and aide salaries to reduce class sizes. Trust Funds also support language, arts, college preparatory, and other specialized courses. To see how scholar is using trust land funds click here:
