The Site-Based Decision-Making (SBDM) Committee assists the Principal in designating the campus goals and plan for improvement. The SBDM Committee is responsible for input and involvement in the planning and decision-making process to improve student achievement as outlined by state policy and district policy. 

 

The SBDM Committee advises the Principal in the following five areas:

  • Goal Setting  

  • Curriculum, Instruction and Assessment  

  • Budgeting  

  • Staffing Patterns  

  • School Organization  

Additionally, as school related issues occur or school activities and initiatives evolve, the SBDM Committee may authorize a sub-committee to resolve the issue or implement the activity and initiative.
