School Council
The Desert Shadows Middle School Council is a group of individuals representing different stakeholder groups including parents, staff, and community, whose mission is to discuss growth and change opportunities within the school with the goal of creating a safe and nurturing environment focused on rigorous education.
Purpose: School Council is a decision-making body that approves non designated tax credit expenditures. It also serves as an advisory to the school administrative staff.
The representatives meet monthly and post the agenda for the community before each meeting.
To propose or provide input on agenda items at future meetings, you can e-mail council members or drop off information for their mailboxes in the front office.
