Texas statute requires every public school in Texas to have an SBDM.
The SEM SBDM is comprised of the Principal, 4 teachers/school staff, and 4 parents, 3 of which are elected by the parents, one appointed by the Principal.
 
The Principal is responsible for and makes final decisions on the instructional and operational functions of the campus. The SBDM acts as an advisory board to the Principal and is a partner in helping the school achieve success.
 
The primary role of the SBDM is to work with the Principal in the development, execution, monitoring progress of the Campus Needs Assessment/Campus Improvement Plan
 
Other areas of focus include, but are not limited to:
Academic progress
Safety and Security
Supporting the middle school recruiting initiatives

SBDM is a great opportunity to get directly involved in helping SEM achieve great outcomes for our students and families.
