The Leadership Council is the representative stakeholder group required by MN law and the agreement between the district and teachers union.
It considers basics, like budget, calendar, curricula, and also the more ephemeral like school culture and equity work and includes representation from students, parents, union, admin, and various departments of the school.
ANYONE can attend PTSO, Leadership (Site) Council, and (most) Committee meetings (on late start days).
Parent/Family members have two voting seats on Leadership Council and up to three alternates. Parent/Family Representatives are chosen each year by a process initiated by the PTSO. You are encouraged to get involved. Council meetings are open to the public (second Monday of each month at 3:30 in the Media Center), and Parents/Family and Students are encouraged to join.

Stakeholders share responsibility to make sure our school works for everyone. It may be confusing, but Southwest has developed a unique and empowering model, and the PTSO can help you find your way. Your voice is important! Feel free to contact us at SWPTSO@gmail.com.
There are three main organizations working within Southwest to provide support as Community Partners. Each is an independently run non-profit organization with 501(c)(3) status:
- PTSO: Parent Teacher Student Organization (See more about PTSO on our "About PTSO" page.)
- PAC: Performing Arts Council. See http://swperformingarts.org/
- SWF: The Southwest Foundation. See http://southwestfoundation.org/
There are many ways you can get involved!
