School Governance Councils Support Student Success

Thank you to everyone that nominated SGC members this year. Voting is currently closed for the 2022-23 school year. 

The State Education Reform Law (Public Act 10-111), passed by the legislature in 2010 and signed by the Governor, includes provisions for School Governance Councils.

Purpose: School Governance Councils (SGC) provides an unprecedented opportunity for stakeholders in Connecticut schools to craft a productive collaboration to support student

Success. Councils intents to enable parents, school staff, students (where appropriate), and community leaders to work together to improve student achievement in the state’s lowest-performing schools.

Membership: School Governance Councils represent the diverse interests of the families and staff that make up the school community. To that end, every effort must be made to engage broad participation in the council election process. An SGC shall include parents or guardians, teachers, community members, principals, and students (at high school SGCs only.)
