School Site Council

School Site Council (SSC) is composed of parents, teachers, and community members who are elected in the fall. They meet the fourth Thursday of each month to participate with the principal and staff in planning the school’s program, goals, and assessments.

Each of the schools in the Manhattan Beach Unified School District belongs to the California State School Improvement Program (SIP). This program provides guidelines and information on creating and maintaining the excellence in education that we all want for our children.

As an ongoing part of the School Improvement Program, elected parent representatives are invited to work with the school staff in developing and monitoring our education plan, through the SSC. The SSC provides a means by which those affected by decisions can participate in making them. The Council develops a school plan with a yearly budget, reviewing how the school plan is being put into practice, assessing how the plan is working, and making agreed upon changes.

We meet one Thursday each month from 3:15 to 4:30 p.m. in the Principal's Office. Please call the Meadows Office if you plan to attend a School Site Council meeting on the dates above just to make sure that the meeting hasn't been changed to another date, as sometimes happens.

Council Members:

Staff: Barbara Gregorio, Trichelle Nishida, Kathleen St. John, Jenn Simon, Connie Harrington.
Parents: Debra Lauzon, Karen Komatinsky, Tim Flake, Krysti Rosario, Caren Sheckter.
