School Community Council

State law requires that each public school has a "School Community Council." This council is comprised of parents, school faculty and school administrators. One of the principle responsibilities of this council is to determine how "Trust Land Funds" will be used.

One of the very successful committees here at Payson Junior High is our Community Council. The Community Council includes parents, faculty members, and administrators, and is dedicated to the improvement of the school.

The general direction of the school is guided by the council, with decisions made regarding the use of Trust Lands monies, implementation of the School Improvement Plan, approval of fees charged for school events, suggestions for improvement of classroom instruction, and making many other decisions and suggestions to the school for the betterment of the students.
