Governance

The University of Texas Elementary School Education Council

The University of Texas Elementary School Education Council is a committee of parents, community representatives, teachers, the principal, and other campus staff. The mission of the University of Texas Elementary School’s Education Council is to promote excellence in education for all students through broad-based representation.

The Education Council provides valuable input to the principal, who has the ultimate decision-making responsibility for the campus. The primary purpose of the Education Council is to address the needs and achievement levels of all students. The formation of an education council is required by state law (Texas Education Code, §11.251). Specific functions of the education council include providing review and comment on:

Campus Educational Program
Campus Performance
Campus Improvement Plan
Campus Staff Development Plan
Campus-Level Waiver Requests to the State
Campus Budget

During the school year, our Education Council holds open meetings on the last Wednesday of each month at 3:45 p.m. in the UT Elementary School library (unless otherwise specified). If you have a concern or would like to participate in this democratic strategic planning, please contact one of the Council members who represents you: either staff, parent, faculty, or community.
