School Community Councils
Being part of the School Community Council (SCC) is a valuable way to get involved, share your voice, and represent the community in important school decisions. In partnership with school administration, the SCC reviews achievement data, identifies academic needs, and contributes to school improvement efforts. The council also develops the annual School LAND Trust Plan and other academic plans that support student success. Councils act in an advisory capacity to the school and district administrators.
All parents are welcome to attend School Community Council meetings and give input, although only council members may vote. For more information on School Community Councils, visit the School LAND Trust website.
Council Member Qualifications
Councils are composed of parent members and school employees. Membership terms are for two years. Parent members must have a student attending the school for at least one of the two years of their term of service. Employees must be employed by the school district at the school.
Council Member Elections
SCC elections for open seats occur at the beginning of the school year (August/September). Election information will be posted here. If you are interested in joining the School Community Council, please contact the school principal for information on how to apply.
2026-2027 School Community Council Elections – Candidate Information
Viewmont Elementary is preparing for elections to fill our open two-year positions on our School Community Council for the 2026-2027 through 2027-2028 school years. We invite all interested parents and school employees to consider serving on the council, which plays an important role in shaping our school’s success. There are two (2) open positions for parents/guardians and one (1) open position for school employees.
Parent/Guardian Members must have a child at the school for at least one of the two years of their term, may not hold an educator’s license and work at the school, and are elected by the parents/guardians of children enrolled at the school.
School Employee Members must be employed at the school and elected by school employees. The principal automatically serves on the council as a voting member.
Election Dates:
The election will take place from August 17 through August 28, 2026.
How to Get on the Ballot:
If you are a parent or school employee interested in serving on the council, please complete and submit a candidate form to the school office by August 28, 2026. Forms can be picked up in the main office.
What Happens Next:
- If we receive more candidate forms than available positions, a vote will be held from September 1–3, 2026.
- If we receive fewer candidate forms than available positions, the existing parent members will appoint new parent members, and the existing school employee members will appoint new school employee members to fill the remaining seats.
We encourage all parents and employees to consider this opportunity to be involved in meaningful decisions that affect our school community.
