The School Advisory Council (SAC) is a team of parents, teachers, staff, students, and community members who work together to support and guide the school’s priorities and goals
.
SAC plays an important role in reviewing and approving the School Improvement Plan, ensuring that our academic strategies and resources meet the needs of all students
.
Members provide input on the school’s budget and make decisions on how certain funds, such as school improvement and recognition funds, are used
.
SAC meetings give parents and community members a voice in shaping educational priorities, programs, and policies at Ruckel Middle School
.
Serving on SAC is a meaningful way to be directly involved in supporting student success and strengthening the partnership between school, family, and community
