Dear Parents,
Providence Hall has elected to receive School Land Trust funds each year to support the academic achievement of our students. In electing to receive the funds, a School Land Trust Committee must be maintained.
The membership of our school community council includes the principal, teachers elected by teachers, and parents elected by parents of students at the school. Charter schools such as ours have trust land committees where elected parents make up the majority of committee members. The most effective councils and committees are those whose members work collaboratively to develop plans to aid all students in reaching their potential, as ours has done over the past 3 years.
The Providence Hall School Land Trust Committee prepares a plan that identifies the school's greatest academic need(s). Plans are submitted Utah School Lands Trusts Administration. The committee receives an annual dividend from the permanent State School Fund every July to implement your school's approved plan during the next school year.
Providence Hall currently has a committee established however, the committee needs two additional parent representatives. A parent representative needs to be elected from the jr. high and elementary school.
If you are interested in serving on the committee, please email me a short description explaining your interest in serving and information about yourself. I will post the descriptions on the election survey to assist parents in making their selection for the committee.
If you would like to run, I need your information by Friday, November 11th and the election will be held on Wednesday, November 16th.
If you would like to learn more about the program, you can visit the website at www.schoollandtrust.org.
Thank you for your interest and support!
