What is the Charter Governance Council?
Dixie Canyon Community Charter is a District-affiliated charter school within LAUSD. This means the school has site-based flexibility in selected programs and procedures while continuing to follow LAUSD policy, applicable collective bargaining agreements, state and federal law, and the school’s approved charter.
The Dixie Canyon Community Charter Governance Council includes teacher, parent/community, classified staff, UTLA, and administrative representation as described in the school’s approved charter and bylaws. The Council supports alignment with the school’s approved charter, provides input on school programs and priorities, and reviews matters related to affiliated charter resources, including the Charter Block Grant, within applicable LAUSD and Charter Schools Division guidelines. The Council also serves in an advisory role to school administration on schoolwide topics. Staff, teachers, parents, and community members are welcome to attend Charter Governance Council meetings.
Current Governance Council Agenda and Meeting Notices
Current Governance Council meeting notices, agendas, and/or calendar postings are shared through the school’s communication systems, including the school website calendar and ParentSquare, as applicable.
What are Charter Committees?
The Governance Council includes committees that support the work of the charter by reviewing specific areas and bringing information, input, and recommendations back to the Council.
