About the SIC

The James B Edwards Elementary School Improvement Council (SIC) consists of parents, community members, and school personnel. This important group helps to set goals for the school and ensures those goals are met. 

An SIC is a broad-based body intended to advise the principal and school, and is focused on helping to achieve school improvement.
​

• The JBE SIC wrote the current uniform policy after consulting teachers and parents
• Drafted/sent a letter opposing current start time to CCSD
• Reviewed logistics of building greenhouse
• Discussions of future funding for language teacher 
• Publishes an end-of-the-year report for parents and community members
• Monitors JBE long-term goals

The SIC will be made up of the following representatives:

(1) Three parents elected by parents of students enrolled in the school.
(2) Three teachers elected by teachers assigned to the school.
(3) Two members of the local community appointed by the Principal. The Principal will make these appointments from the non-parent portion of the community and will strive to make appointments that reflect the diversity of the student body and local community.
(4) The Principal as an ex-officio member of the SIC.
(5) Two ex-officio member in addition to the Principal: the current PTO Chairperson. If an individual holding an ex-officio position is unable to serve on the SIC for any reason, an appropriate substitute shall be named by the organization that individual represents. 

State law requires that every K-12 public school in South Carolina convene an SIC.
​The law states that it is the responsibility of the local school board to ensure SICs are constituted within each district.
