Agency Information
Chicago Public Schools Local School Councils
Chicago Public Schools have Local School Councils (LSC) which are responsible for three main duties: Approving how school funds and resources are allocated, developing and monitoring the annual School Improvement Plan and evaluating and selecting the school’s principal. Traditional Local School Councils consist of the following members: 6 parents, 2 community members, 2 teachers, 1 non-teacher staff, the school’s principal and a student representative (high school LSCs only). NOTE: The meetings held by this agency are published on a static webpage. We recommend contacting the Office of Local School Council Relations to confirm meeting dates and times.*
