Every school in the CPS system has an LSC, which is composed of parents, community members, teachers, and the school principal. Teachers, staff, and student representatives are appointed by the Board of Education, but other members are elected.The primary responsibility of an LSC is to elect the principal of the school and renew the principal's contract, and to approve the school's budgets and Continuous Work Improvement Plans.
