What is LSCS? | LSCS Full Form | LSCS Term

Every Chicago public school has a Local School Council (LSC) which consists of parents, community members, teachers, and the principal of the school. Members of the council are elected except in the case of teachers, staff and student representatives, who are appointed by the Board of Education after non-binding polls are taken and conduct monthly meetings which the public can attend. Their primary responsibility is to select the school’s principal, renew the principal’s contract, approve the Continuous Improvement Work Plan (CIWP) and approve the school’s budget for the school year. Some LSCs serve only in an advisory capacity, such as with low-performing schools undergoing turnarounds.
