School Councils / SIP Plans
The Massachusetts Education Reform Act of 1993 established School Councils in each school in the Commonwealth. The Morris School School Council normally has nine members (4 parents, 3 teachers, 1 community representative, and the elementary Principal). The Council meets once a month to assist the Principal in (1) adopting educational goals for the school that are consistent with local educational policies and statewide student performance standards, (2) identifying the educational needs of students attending the school, (3) reviewing the annual school building budget, and (4) formulating a school improvement plan. Whenever there is an opening on the Council, parents will be notified and may express an interest to be a member. All School Council meetings are posted at the Town Hall and are open to the public.
