About the Inman MS Local School Council

The Local School Council(LSC) for Inman Middle School is a collaborative group of parents, teachers, and business partners, whose purpose is to advise and make recommendations to the principal, local board of education and local school superintendent on matters relating to school improvement and student achievement.

Inman’s Local School Coucil is composed of five parents, one business partner, two certified teachers and the school’s principal.

The primary goals of local school councils includes:

Bringing communities and schools closer together to make recommendations to solve problems and improve academic achievement
