Due to scheduling conflicts, previously scheduled SCCC meetings will be postponed until January 2027. Updated meeting dates and information will be shared with families and posted on the District’s SCCC webpage once the new schedule is finalized.
We encourage families, staff, and community members to stay informed by reviewing committee materials, watching meeting recordings, and following updates on this webpage. We will continue to communicate with our community as the committee’s work progresses.
Thank you for your continued engagement and partnership in supporting CUSD students and schools.
