Almost every public school in Chicago has one. LSCs have 12 or 13 total seats (depending on if the school is elementary or high school). Parents and residents are eligible to vote for eight of the seats on their local LSCs, and CPS appoints the rest. LSCs make critical policy decisions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Approving the school based academic plan, or Continuous Improvement Work Plan (CIWP);<\/li><li>Approving the alignment of budgetary resources to the CIWP;<\/li><li>Engaging in the annual evaluation of the contract principal\u2019s professional practices; and<\/li><li>Selecting or renewing contract principals.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many opportunities to stand for children when it comes to LSCs. Offer your help to your neighborhood LSC. Vote in the LSC elections (you do not have to be a registered voter but there are other eligibility rules). Consider running for a seat on the LSC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cps.edu\/lscrelations\/Pages\/LSCrelations.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Chicago Public Schools provides support and technical assistance<\/a>\u00a0to LSCs.
