Benicia High School's Site Council is composed of students, parents/community members, teachers, non-teaching staff, and the principal. Each members group is selected at large by other members of their group - students by student vote, parents/community members by parent vote, and teachers by teacher vote. The school is required to meet certain numbers of representation for each group of membership, at least 12 voting members: the Principal, 4 or more teachers, 1 or more classified school staff, 3 (+1 alternate) parent/guardian members, and 4 or more students (one from each grade level +1 alternate).
School Site Council meets once a month, generally on the second Tuesday of the month unless a school holiday or event requires a change of date. Meetings are held from 3:30pm to 5:00pm. The meetings focus on bringing stakeholders together to participate in reviewing the work of the school, progress towards goals, and participate in decision-making for Benicia High School as we work towards our Vision and Mission. Meetings are open to the public, with a time for public comment, and agendas are posted in the school office one week prior to the meeting.
Applications are reviewed at the start of each school year for required voting for open seats for that school year.
