J.L. Long’s Site Based Decision Making Committee

2009-2010

.

 

J.L. Long’s Site Based Decision Making Committee (SBDM) is a state-mandated, campus-focused advisory group that is responsible for evaluating various “school-business” subjects. We have parents, community members, faculty and staff on the committee. Our core areas of emphasis are Curricu­lum, Campus Improvement Planning, Parent and Staff Development, and Facilities and Safety. We intend also to engage in outreach and advocacy -on behalf of J.L. Long - in the community, among our elementary feeder schools, and at Dallas ISD. Moreover, SBDM has not only the opportunity to be informed of important school policy matters, but SBDM has the obli­gation to be informed and to offer its opinions and perspectives to our ad­ministration and faculty. In the end, the objective of SBDM is to continu­ally improve the educational experience and outcome for every student at J.L. Long. Chair Vince Murchison personally invites you to join us for our Monthly Meetings the first Thursday of each month at 5:30 pm in the school library. Email Vince @ vmurchison@sonnenschein.com with SBDM questions or issues.  To request a copy of the by-laws email your request to rrpatter@yahoo.com.
