LSIC Parent, Guardian, or Custodian Membership The West Virginia legislature mandated the public schools establish councils to collaborate with administrators and faculty to promote innovations and improvements in the teaching and learning environment in the schools. LSICs shall help develop and promote the school’s and county’s vision for excellence by being catalysts for innovation and encouraging parent, family, business, and community involvement in the school and the county strategic improvement process. They serve an integral role in school governance through shared decision making. The membership is designed to draw upon the expertise and insight of stakeholders from various backgrounds to define the strengths and weaknesses of a school and to develop solutions to improve education at the school.
LSICs are required to meet every nine weeks or equivalent grading period, at the call of the chair, or by petition of three-fourths of its members.
Three parents, guardians, or custodians of students enrolled at the school are elected by other parents, guardians, or custodians of students enrolled at the school in a manner determined by the principal.
Under no circumstances may a parent member of a school’s council be employed at that school in any capacity. Parents serve a two-year term.
Elections shall be arranged so that no more than two parents, guardians, or custodians are elected each year.
