LSLC History

The Local School Leadership Council (LSLC) program was created in 1989, in response to teacher demands for schools to have more local control. The Council allows parent, teachers, other school staff members to contribute to planning that affects their school.

LSLC's primary purpose is to influence the budgeting of funds titled 4170, but it is also in charge of event scheduling and other areas.

Palms needs 5 parents and 1 alternate for the LSLC. Meetings are monthly as shown in the schedule above.
