School Site Council

Plainfield's School Site Council is currently composed of ten members, who meet on a monthly basis to discuss, make recommendations on, and approve the use of our school's state and federal categorical funds. Of the ten members on the SSC, five are parents.

Except for the principal, parents, teachers, and classified staff on the Site Council serve for a period of two years, and must be elected by the groups they represent.

Being on the School Site Council is one of the primary ways parents express their collective voice on how the school allocates funding. Elections take place on an annual basis. If you would like to participate in this way, please contact the principal, Phil Pinegar, for more information.
