School Governance Council
School Governance Council members serve as community ambassadors and are granted limited authority in the decision-making process including:
o Providing input into the school improvement plan, and oversight of its implementation
o Providing input into innovations that would traditionally require a waiver
o Providing input into budget priorities that are aligned with school improvement plans, use of charter funds, and school fundraisers
o Participating in the interviewing process and providing input in hiring of Principal when there is a vacancy
o Providing input into school operations that are consistent with school improvement and charter goals
School Governance Council members will serve voluntarily and will not receive any compensation for their service as Council members.
Thank you to the 2024-2025 School Governance Council Members for your continued support of Gainesville City Schools' students.
