Local School Council

What is the Local School Council?

Every Chicago Public School has a Local School Council (LSC) which consists of parents, community members, teachers, and the principal of the school. All members of the council are elected and conduct monthly meetings which the public can attend.

Local school councils are the site based management team of each school. Their primary responsibility is to select the school’s principal, renew the principal’s contract, approve the School Improvement Plan for Advancing Academic Achievement and approve the school’s budget for the school year.

As the primary policy-making body for their schools, LSCs deal with a wide range of issues in meetings; they may discuss busing, budgets, school improvements, curriculum changes, school events, and many other areas. Many LSCs have active advisory committees which may include non-LSC members.

When does the Local School Council meet?

Talman's Local School Council meets every third Thursday from 8 - 9am at the gym stage. Everyone is welcome to attend as our council takes public comments at every meeting.
