Site Council is a group of administrators, teachers, èßäÊÓÆµ and parents that identify ways to support the èßäÊÓÆµ community. By providing leadership, direction and support, we define èßäÊÓÆµ priorities and implement ways to improve them. At its core, Site Council is about tailoring the MLC experience to the specific needs of our èßäÊÓÆµ and our community.
