School Improvement Council 

What is SIC?

• The School Improvement Council (SIC) serves as an advisory committee to a school's principal and faculty.

• Unlike PTA/Os and other voluntary school organizations, councils are mandated by law to exist in every public school in South Carolina.
• The council members include parents, community business leaders, and faculty members
• SICs play a key role in the education of our state's children, bringing together parents, educators and community stakeholders to work collectively to improve their local schools.
• More than 16,000 people serve on SICs in South Carolina.

What does the council do?

• SICs work with the school to develop and implement a five-year school improvement plan (school renewal plan).
• SICs monitor and evaluate success in reaching the plan's goals and objectives.
• SICs write an annual report to parents about the progress of the plan.
• SICs assist the principal in writing the narrative for the School Report Card.
• SICs advise on the use of school incentive awards and provide assistance as requested by the principal.

How can the SIC help me as a parent?

• Help you learn about issues that impact public education
• Assist in getting to know faculty, administration and other Armstrong parents
• Strengthen the school that your children attend
