Attention Connect Students, Parents and Staff! We have multiple positions open on Connect’s School Site Council! The council meets quarterly to conduct school business and represents students, parents and staff from across Connect K8, Connect HS and DVX. We have a fabulous team already and are excited to invite additional members to fill open positions. As a formal council, these positions are filled by flying the position, accepting applications and conducting an official vote (students vote for students, parents vote for parents and staff vote for staff). The council discusses school business and gives input into budget items including state grants.
