Buena Vista School Improvement Committee (SIC)

The School Improvement Council (SIC) serves as an advisory committee to a school's principal and staff. The council is mandated by law to exist in every public school in South Carolina. SIC brings parents, teachers, principals, and other community members together to improve our school.

The council is composed of parents and teachers. The principal serves as an ex-officio member. At least four meetings of the council are held each year. The purposes of the council are:

• To gain knowledge concerning the purpose and goals of the school.
• To disseminate information to other parents and citizens within the community and to clarify information concerning the school programs.
• To offer for consideration to the school principal suggestions concerning program improvements with respect to student needs and program operation within the individual school, area, or district.
• To assist in the preparation of the Annual School reports as required by the School Finance Act of 1977 and ACT 135 of 1993.
