Community Council

School Community Council Information

The School Community Council at Provo Peaks Elementary is a committee of interested community members, including parents, school staff, and administrators who meet to discuss parent and student issues, Trustlands money, Reading Achievement and other concerns. We encourage all parents to participate with the school community council to be a part of the decision making process.

Time Commitment

The SCC meets 8-9 times during the school year for approximately 45 minutes-1 hour. (Exact dates and times will be determined by committee member availability and then posted on the school website.)

Invitation to Participate

The school community council is composed of parents, teachers, and administrators with the purpose of advocating for the children of Provo Peaks Elementary in deciding how to allocate the School Land Trust funds. Any parent from the school can run for a position in the council and any parent is welcome to attend these meetings, regardless of being elected or not.

All parents are welcome to attend any School Community Council Meeting. Agenda and Minutes are posted to the school website. You can also apply for the Provo Peaks Elementary School Community Council for the 2020-2021 school year. Information will be posted to the website in the spring. Members are elected and serve for a two-year term. Members may apply and serve more than one term, but must be re-elected. If you are interested in serving on the provo Peaks SCC or have questions, please email Principal Burge at markbu@provo.edu

School Land Trust Program

The School LAND Trust program brings tens of millions of dollars annually to academic programs in public schools across Utah. The funds are generated from school trust lands. These funds are the only discretionary funds many schools receive. The program runs entirely from this web site. Each public school in Utah elects a school community council consisting of parents, teachers, and the principal. Charter Schools have Trust Lands Councils. All councils have a two parent member majority. Each council carefully reviews student assessments and progress to decide which academic areas they want to focus on. Plans are developed to improve student academic performance in the identified academic areas with the annual School LAND Trust funds. The plans are approved by the council, submitted on this website, and approved by the local school board or chartering entity. Other Information: The Utah Legislature has assigned councils responsibilities for school safety and digital citizenship. As with other responsibilities of school community councils, it is intended that administrators, staff, and parents engage together to bring about the best possible result for students.
