In this evaluation, the council will consider school test scores, attendance and discipline records, parent surveys and input from students.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;text-indent: 0.5in\">After looking at the big picture of the school&#8217;s progress, the council and the principal create a plan for improvement. This plan might involve a new academic program, staff member or parent outreach strategy. For example, one council might use funds to develop a new math program, while another might decide to hire a reading specialist or a parent liaison to get more parents involved would be the best use of its money. Because school budgets are limited and many funds can only be spent in certain ways, there are always tough decisions to make.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;text-indent: 0.5in\">School site council members don&#8217;t just represent their own interests.
