The Curriculum Coordinating Council (CCC) is a representative group of district personnel and community members that advises the Board of Education, through the Superintendent, in matters concerning curriculum, instruction and assessment. All professional decisions pertaining to curriculum, instruction and assessment are reviewed by the CCC before recommendation to the Board of Education's Curriculum & Technology Committee. This means the CCC also serves as a communication link among the certified staff, Superintendent and Board of Education, and promotes and encourages communication among buildings and levels within the district.
