Community Survey

Each year, the School Accountability Committee creates and sends a community survey with the goal of gauging overall school health and community needs, and to assess the viability of certain programs, whether in place or as possibilities for the future. The SAC then reviews the data and makes recommendations to the administration, who uses the feedback in future planning. Below you will find links to the survey results and to the administrative progress report. Please download the PDF reports for full functionality.

Meeting Information

The Mountain Sage Community School SAC meets quarterly. SAC meetings are posted on our school Google Calendar.

All SAC meetings are open to the public. We encourage teachers, staff members, and parents to join our meetings at any time. Each meeting begins with the opportunity for open comment, providing the chance for anyone to express an opinion or concern. If you'd like to attend, please let us know ahead of time.

It is required by the state that all SACs post their meeting times, agendas, and meeting minutes. This information is available on the MSCS website and calendar.
