SIC Nominating Form
SICs are focused on school improvement. SIC members participate in writing the school improvement plan by sharing their knowledge about student, family, and community needs and suggesting ideas for effective change. Under South Carolina’s new Read to Succeed law, SICs also advise their school on plans to improve student reading levels.
SICs carry out many different kinds of activities that help schools meet their improvement goals. For example, SICs may decide to work together with their schools on:
• Using new and effective ways to get more parents involved in their school and student learning.
• Bringing in volunteers, funds, goods and services, or other needed resources from the community to the school.
SICs also write an annual Report to the Parents about their school's progress and assist the principal with the narrative for the SC School Report Card.
SIC elections must be held by October 15th each year. Some schools hold elections at the beginning of the school year; others hold elections in late spring for the coming school year.
FDES will be accepting nominations through Oct. 8th. Nomination forms are in the front office. Voting ballots will be sent home Oct. 9th . Voting will close October 15th.
Although you must be a member to vote on SIC matters, SIC meetings are open to all interested persons in the community. SICs also rely on volunteers from all parts of the community to carry out their activities.
