Local School Council

The Sheridan Local School Council (LSC) serves as a vital connection to the Chicago Public School (CPS) system. Our LSC’s responsibilities include approving the school’s budget, monitoring the school improvement plan, and evaluating our principal. Our LSC includes 6 parents, 2 community members, 2 teachers, 1 non-teaching staff, and our principal. We meet on the 3rd Wednesday of most months during the school year at 6:00 pm in our school’s library
