Community Council  & Trust lands

Purposes of Community Councils

The purposes of school community councils are to involve parents or guardians of students in decision making at the school level, improve the quality of education of students, prudently expend School LAND Trust Program money, and increase public awareness of school trust lands and related land policies, management of the State School Fund, and educational excellence. Utah Code § 53A-1a-108(2) (2014)
