School Community Council (SCC)

School Community Council (SCC)

The School Community Council (SCC) is a shared governance council formed by the parents and staff of Hillside Middle School in accordance with state law. The SCC was established in 1974 by the Salt Lake School Board, which has empowered each SCC to make decisions regarding their school as a cooperative means of improving the educational programs and conditions within that school. Its membership represents school employees and parents or guardians of students. Ideas for discussion topics may be generated by any individual or group in the school community. 

 

SCC is an open meeting

  • SCC is made up of educators and parents. Each year parents are elected to serve one-year terms and to represent parents of Hillside students who have come from each of the feeder elementary schools.  All parents are welcome and encouraged to come to meetings.

  • The SCC Board meets every month. Meetings are at 7:00 A.M. via zoom. Our meeting schedule is listed above.

  • If you are interested in becoming involved in SCC, or have concerns that need to be addressed by SCC, please complete the SCC inquiry form and leave it in SCC’s box located in the school office.

  • The SCC chair for 2024-2025 is Jenny Kearl, jennifer.kearl@slcschools.org.
