School Community Council

The Utah State Legislature passed a law in 2000 requiring every public school in the state to establish a School Community Council at the school-site level (Utah Code Section 53A-1a-108). Two years later the legislature passed a second bill mandating several changes in the duties, powers, and membership of the School Community Councils in Utah. This law took effect July 1, 2002. In accordance with state law, "Each public school, in consultation with its local school board, shall establish a school community council at the school building level."

Parents are invited to serve on BHS's School Community Council. To become a member of the council, please pick up the “SCC Candidate Application Form” from Bingham High School's main office. Completed Candidate Forms must be received in the Main Office before 3:00 PM on Monday, August 25, 2023. We meet four times a year, roughly once a quarter.  Decision making and plan approval require a majority vote from a quorum of Council members.  In order to assure that a quorum is available at each meeting, it is imperative that all Council members attend and actively participate in each of the four meetings throughout the school year.

For additional information, please contact Michelle Putnam, Assistant Principal, at 801-256-5116 or [email protected].

Thanks,

Bingham High School Administration
