LSDMC Meeting
2025-04-09 15:00 - 16:30, 2025-05-14 15:00 - 16:30 (America/New_York)
The Local School Decision Making Committee (LSDMC) is the primary governing body of our school and is composed of four major constituency groups; parents/guardians, teachers, non-teaching staff including the principal, and community members.

Each group has equal representation and an equal voice in the decision-making process. The LSDMC sets goals, develops a plan for meeting those goals, and monitors progress toward goal attainment by conducting mid-year and end-of-year assessments. The LSDMC also makes school budget decisions, submits changes in the school’s programing, and when necessary participates in the selection of the principal.

Meetings are open to the public and take place at PRM.
