BARANOFF CAMPUS ADVISORY COUNCIL

The purpose of the Campus Advisory Council (CAC) is to assist and advise our principal, Linda Purvis, in bringing about cooperation and coordination of our resources to maximize educational opportunities for all Baranoff students.

The CAC is made up of parents, professional staff (i.e. teachers, vice-principal) , a representative from the classified staff (i.e. clerks, teacher assistants, etc.), community and business reps and the principal. The co-chairs for the 2008-2009 school year are Andrea Streicher, parent, and Adriana Lichtenberger, teacher.

The main objectives of the CAC are to:

  • Assess school programs and services
  • Establish goals to improve these programs and ser vices
  • Evaluate student progress
  • Review and help develop the school budget
  • Integrate all of the above to develop the yearly Campus Improvement Plan (CIP)
  • Act as a liaison between our school and community

The council helps make many important decisions for our school! Some of last years results included allocating fund-raiser monies to purchase: literacy and math materials, science and sports equipment, music and art supplies. In addition, the council discusses issues such as maintaining campus safety and approving the campus achievement goals.

The CAC meets monthly. The meetings are always open to the public and there is time allotted for public comment. Public comments will be listened to but addressed at a later meeting. If you have an agenda item you would like addressed at a meeting, there are forms available in the front office. Agenda items need to be received by a co-chair or the principal 14 days in advance. You may also address issues to any CAC representative; their names will be listed in the upcoming school directory. CAC minutes from the previous monthly meetings are posted on a bulletin board in the main hallway. All meetings are held in the Baranoff library.
