What is the School Advisory Council?

The SAC is composed of the school principal and an “appropriately balanced” number of teachers, education support employees, students, parents, and other business and community citizens who are representative of the ethnic, racial, and economic community served by the school.  The SAC assists in the preparation and evaluation of the school's improvement plan and in the preparation of the school's annual budget, as well as other functions assigned to it by the district school board.

The HBMS SAC usually meets once a month during the school year.  The SAC votes on using funds to improve teaching and learning.
