Local Advisory Council

Each school within the Catholic Schools of Greater Kalamazoo (CSGK) has a Local Advisory Council (LAC). The purpose of the LAC is to advise the Principal in matters of programming, policies, finance, facilities, grounds, development, marketing, alumni relations, community relations, and relations with the Parishes. The LAC is also responsible for contributing to the annual evaluation of the principal.

Public meetings are held most months, and meeting dates and times are published on each school's calendar.

Visitors are always welcome to attend Council meetings. If you wish an item to be discussed at a meeting, or if you'd like to contact the LAC President for any reason, please email [email protected].
