The following information is taken from the School District of Polk County School Advisory Council 2006-2007 Handbook:

Florida State Law, Statue 229.58 states that every school must have a School Advisory Council.

The School Advisory Council (SAC) is responsible for developing the school improvement plan and working jointly with the principal and staff to analyze relevant data.  The SAC helps determine the goals in the plan and how progress toward the goals will be measured.

Each SAC must be composed of the principal and an appropriately balanced team of people representing stakeholders of the school community - parents, teachers students, administrators, support staff, business and community members.    These individuals must be representative of the ethnic, racial and economic makeup of the community served by the school.

SAC Responsibilities
* Determine expenditure of Lottery funds
* Reviewing and providing input on curriculum issues
* Assist in preparing the school budget
*  Review impact of zoning changes
*  SACs are not fund raising organizations.  SACs can not conduct any fund raising activities, accept donations, or maintain bank accounts.
