State law requires that every K-12 public school in South Carolina have a School Improvement Council (SIC). The committee is made up of parents, teachers, students (at the high school level only) and community members along with the school's principal and other "ex-officio" members. The intended focus of the committee is to support the school improvement process. The primary duties of an SIC are to:
- Provide input and feedback during the development of the school's five-year renewal (improvement) plan and annual updates;
- Assist in implementation of school improvement programs and activities;
- Monitor and report on progress in the annual SIC Report to the Parents and with the principal in the narrative to the SC School Report Card
- Provide other assistance as requested by the principal.
