About Us

Appointed Local School Councils:

All Chicago Public schools have a Local School Council (LSC) that acts as a school-based governing board. These Councils are responsible primarily for hiring the school principal and approving the school's budget. Lindblom's ALSC, however, functions slightly differently than a traditional LSC. As an appointed school council, the governing body acts in an advisory capacity to the principal, providing input in school-related needs, but does not govern with the same authority to hire the principal and make budgetary decisions as a traditional LSC. 

Council Membership:

Lindblom’s School Council consists of 12 members including representatives from each community group: 6 parents of school students, 2 members from the community, 2 teachers, and 1 student. Because of its corporate partnership, Lindblom’s ALCS has 2 members from Baxter International who provide expertise in biotechnology on the council.
