SBDM

School-Based Decision Making (SBDM) Councils promote shared leadership among those who are closest to the students. Membership of each council includes parents, teachers, and an administrator of the school.

The council is responsible for setting school policy and making decisions as outlined in statute, which should provide an environment to enhance student achievement and assist in meeting the goals established by law.

State law requires members elected to an SBDM Council to receive training in school-based decision-making.
