Elections for the Community Council take place each year in August. This is one of the many ways that we encourage our school community to become involved in the education process.

School Trust Land Summery for 2019/20

Hurricane High School spent slightly over $94,000 of the nearly $121,000 that was allocated to HHS for 2018/19 school year.  Below is a summary of where funds were spent:

• Slightly over $66,000 was allocated to teach additional English, Physical Education and Science sections, this includes salary and benefits.  It also includes the salary for our credit recovery specialist(s).
• Roughly $9,094 was spent on professional and technical services, this included $7000 that was spent towards the School of Life program.
• $4900 was spent on a combination of lodging/ travel and professional admission fees for Professional Development conferences as well as educational school field trips.
• $4,454 was spent on general supplies which included improvements to our music department.
• $9,512 was spent on increasing technology and making it more available to students, this includes Chromebook and updated classroom projectors.

HHS will carry over roughly $27,700 to the 2019/20 school year prior to the next State Trust Lands disbursement.  The Community Council allocated for full spending of the 2018/19 budget however, school administrators were careful to spend the state trust lands funds as needed and avoided unnecessary expenditures.  

School Improvement Plan

Our School Community Council is primarily responsible for the creation of our School LAND Trust Plan. This plan is created annually by analyzing our school testing data to determine the greatest academic need. The money our school receives from the School LAND Trust fund is allocated according to our plan. Over the years our school has purchased technology to support student learning, books for our leveled library, math manipulatives, science materials, and we’ve been able to hire additional personnel to support targeted learning in small groups. Our school is grateful for the School LAND Trust program and the opportunity we have as a school to allocate the funds to support our targeted and specific needs. The Council assists with school improvement, and make decisions on how to best spend the Trust LANDS funding. More information regarding the work of the Council and the current plan can be found by visiting the School LAND Trust Website: http://www.schoollandtrust.org/
