The School Advisory Council (SAC) is a team of people representing various segments of the community – the principal, teachers, education support employees, students, parents, and other business and community citizens. A majority of the members of each school advisory council must be persons who are not employed by the school district. The SAC serves as a voice for school improvement by assisting the principal in preparing and evaluating the School Improvement Plan (SIP) and providing input on the school's budget. Council members representing teachers, education support employees, students, and parents are elected by their respective peer group, and business and community members are selected to ensure representation of the ethnic, racial, and economic community served by the school. The SAC plays a crucial role in fostering continuous improvement and ensuring that the school's decisions reflect the needs of all stakeholders.

The Edgewater School Advisory Council meets the second Tuesday of the month in the ARC at 6:30 pm. Meetings generally last one hour. All meetings are open. Minutes of the SAC meetings are always available.

What is the SAC? The School Advisory Council is a diverse, driven group of individuals who want to work to improve our school. The group is comprised of parents, community members, administrators, teachers and students all working together to make Edgewater a safe, academic and enjoyable environment. Each year, the SAC works hand-in-hand with the principal to both develop and evaluate the School Improvement Plan. Members also learn valuable information about Edgewater and use it to sponsor various activities throughout the year. 

Why should you join? To put it quite simply...we need you! We need the valuable, diverse voice of many to help create the vision for our school's future. A handful of people is simply not enough for this important task. There is no experience or academic background needed to be a SAC member - just a willingness to learn, ask questions, and meet the challenges of making a brighter EHS future.
