School Improvement Advisory Council

Cooperation and communication among staff members, students, and community is a goal of the Ankeny Schools. For this purpose, the district has a School Improvement Advisory Council (SIAC) that is appointed by the Board of Education. SIAC is an advisory group that provides parents, community members, staff members, and students an opportunity to provide input on educational needs and district goals. The word “advisory” is definitive; that is, SIAC makes recommendations but does not have decision-making authority.

Parents of each attendance center will be given an opportunity to serve on SIAC. Information regarding SIAC will be communicated to parents and community during the summer months preceding the first SIAC meeting in September. Representation should reflect the diverse composition of the district. Members will be invited to serve at least one, but not more than three, years.
