Site Council: Todd Tischer

Site Council is a group of Garden City staff members and parents who look at student achievement, help set school goals and look at the compensatory money we have and determine how it would be best spent. Amy Watkins and Henry Yang are the current parent representatives. They are willing to stay on if there aren't other parents interested and if the by-laws allow it.
