Here is information on each committee's respective composition and purview:


The LSLC and SSC meetings are monthly, typically on the third Thursday at 3 and 3:30, respectively, in Dr. K's Zoom room

In addition to hosting LSLC and SSC meetings, where elected representatives vote on specific items over which the LSLC and SSC have purview, the Principal sends surveys to all staff and families via email in order to elicit staff and family input on matters over which District and School administrators have purview. Survey results, while not binding, are informative and help the District and School administrators arrive at decisions. 

All staff and families are invited to all LSLC and SSC meetings. While all are invited to bring forth questions and comments, only elected representatives may vote

On matters that are not under the purview of the LSLC and SSC, the District and School administrators have the privilege and responsibility to make decisions. While input is sought, not all action items are by consensus or brought to a vote. 

Here are the LSLC and SSC Meeting Minutes from 2022-2023

FOR ADDED CONTEXT: The parent organization, Friends of Walgrove (FOW), is a separate entity, and its purpose is twofold: 1) to raise $ for Walgrove; and 2) to build community. FOW is not a school-based decision-making body with purview over school matters. While the FOW Board and school administration meet weekly to discuss school needs, FOW does not determine school needs.
