The Rees EL Shared Decision-Making Committee (SDC) is an essential component of our campus, dedicated to fostering collaboration and inclusivity in the decision-making process. Comprising representatives from paraprofessionals, teachers, parents, community members, business owners, district personnel, and administrators, the committee plays a fundamental role in shaping the policies and initiatives that impact our campus. This diverse composition ensures that decisions are made with a comprehensive understanding of the needs and concerns of all stakeholders.

The committee will often discuss, review, and make decisions on a range of topics, including academic policies, budget allocations, campus development, and other issues that impact the overall functioning of the campus. The goal is to create a more inclusive and autonomous decision-making process, allowing different stakeholders to be heard and considered. Some of our committee duties are:

• Assist the principal in the development, review, and revision of the CIP

• Provide input to improve student performance

• Establish campus goals and strategies with guidance from the principal

• Advise & make recommendations to the principal in curriculum, budget, staffing patterns, goal setting, and school organization

• Develop and/or review staff development

• Hold at least one public meeting per year after receipt of the Accountability rating to discuss campus performance objectives

The Rees EL Shared Decision-Making Committee is dedicated to creating a campus environment where decisions are made collaboratively, inclusively, and with the best interests of our students in mind. We invite active participation and engagement from all stakeholders as we work together to shape the future of our campus.
