School Governance Councils

Benjamin Franklin has a School Governance Council (SGC) that enables parents, staff, students, and the community to work together in facilitating quality educational plans that produce continuous improvement of student achievement.

The purpose of a SGC is to provide a forum for parents, teachers, community members, students and principals to work together in providing continued analysis and improvement of public school policies, curriculum, school improvement plan goals, and general student well-being.

Benjamin Franklin is looking for parents to serve on our School Governance Council.  If you are interested please contact the school at 414-875-4400 for information on the election process.
