School LAND Trust

The School LAND Trust Program, established by the Utah Legislature, distributes the “annual dividend” funds from the State School Fund to all public schools in the state. All schools are required to have a Community Council, which can be the Governing Board or an elected group of parents, teachers, and administration that will prepare an annual plan to address the schools greatest academic needs. More information is available on the School LAND Trust Website.

Dear Advantage Arts Academy Parents,

We are excited to extend an open invitation to all parents who are passionate about our school's continued success and growth. Advantage Arts Academy is committed to providing the best educational experience for our students, and we believe that parent involvement is key to achieving this goal.

One significant way you can contribute to our school's success is by serving on the School Land Trust Council. The School Land Trust Council plays a crucial role in determining how the funds allocated to our school from the School Land Trust Program are spent. These funds provide essential resources to enhance our students' educational experience, support teachers, and improve the overall learning environment.

By joining the School Land Trust Council, you will have the opportunity to:

1. Participate in decisions regarding how the funds will be allocated to benefit our school.

2. Collaborate with fellow parents, teachers, and administrators to identify and address specific needs and priorities.

3. Help create a plan for improving our school's academic performance and educational programs.

We are looking for dedicated and enthusiastic parents to serve on the School Land Trust Council. Whether you have experience in education or not, your perspective and commitment are invaluable. We welcome diversity in backgrounds, skills, and ideas.

If you are interested in contributing your time and expertise to the Advantage Arts Academy School Land Trust Council, please contact Kelly Simonsen ksimonsen@advantagearts.org or (801) 878-8622.

Sincerely,

Kelly Simonsen

Principal
