School Councils were mandated by the 1993 Education Reform Law to act in an advisory
capacity to the principal. It is composed of parents, teachers, and a community representative.
The School Site Councils meet once a month, typically on the second Monday from

Any parent with a child in Spofford Pond School during 2010-2011 school year is eligible for
