School Site Council

The School Site Council, though meetings are open to all, has a voting membership of 10 (5 parents, 5 Cherry Chase staff). Members are elected by the parent and staff communities and serve a two-year term. The role of the School Site Council is to implement the plan pictured at the bottom of this page.

The School Site Council creates objectives for the school yearly and sponsors teams* to develop programs such as FAME, Band, In-class Music, String Orchestra, reading and computer labs which will move us toward meeting these objectives. All school spending of "Site Improvement Funds" and program funds from PTA are reviewed and approved by the School Site Council.
