The Anacortes School Board sets the policies for the District based on State and Federal Laws. The Leadership Team, which includes Anacortes School Superintendent Chris Borgen and all district/building administrators, is responsible for the supervision of the District. District Committees, made up of all staff, have continual input into District procedures and practices.
Whitney School
Ultimately our principal has responsibility for the instructional leadership and supervision of our school. However, we do believe in shared decision-making and collaboration when it comes to the major instructional decisions for our school. Both the Whitney Site Council and our staff play important roles in this process. We all share a common vision of insuring student success through high quality educational programs.
Site Council
The staff in accordance with the District-adopted Collaborative School Governance policy determines the Whitney Site Council membership. Our Site Council membership includes:
- Certificated Classroom Teachers
Building Administrator
Parents
Community Members
Classified Employee
Certificated Specialist
The role of our Site Council is to propose ideas to the staff, parents, school board, and/or community members, to examine ideas and concerns presented by staff, parents, school board, and/or community members and to facilitate planning and program implementation. The Site Council focuses primarily on educational programs for students. Council members are responsible for sharing ideas generated by the people they represent as well as their own ideas. Communication between all groups in the Collaborative Governance Structure is a key to insuring the highest quality programs for our students.
