School Governance Council

School Governance Councils are an integral component of Fulton's charter system.

School Governance Councils, or SGCs, are responsible for setting and monitoring the strategic direction of the schools.

Powers & Responsibilities

The responsibilities of SGCs are as follows:

• Review the school's Semester Action Plans periodically throughout the school year
• Approve the school's budget recommendations
• Manage the Request for Flexibility process
• Participate in the hiring process when hiring a new principal
• Provide feedback on the principal's performance

Membership

The SGC has 9 voting members:​

• 3 parents/guardians (elected by parents/guardians of the school)
• 2 teachers (elected by school employees)
• 2 community members (nominated by the principal, approved by the SGC)
• 2 school employees (appointed by the principal)

The principal serves on all SGCs as a non-voting member. This makes a total of 10 SGC members.

Public Meetings

All SGC meetings are open to the public per Georgia's Open Meetings Act and agendas and minutes are to be posted per Georgia's Open Records Act. Members of the public do not participate in SGC meetings but may provide comment through designated public comment periods or in written form(email/letter) to members.
