School Site Council is composed of equal numbers of staff and parent or community representatives who serve a two-year term.

The School Site Council is responsible for deciding how to spend categorical money to improve the instructional program at Webster Elementary. Each school in the district receives a different amount of money, based on enrollment. The School Site Council members work together to set goals for improving student achievement at the school and allocating the funds to accomplish those goals.

For the 2023-2024 school year, we have five parent/community member openings and one alternate opening. Please contact Mrs. Forrest if you have questions. Her email address is forrest.kristin@pusd.us.
