Advisory Councils

Edgewood ISD has a variety of advisory councils for staff, parents, and community members to participate in. Committee members provide input and feedback to district leadership about the future of our schools.



Districtwide Educational Improvement Council (DEIC)

This committee includes professional staff, district business representatives, community members and parents. The committee must meet at least two times each school year. The district level committee shall assist the superintendent in the annual development, evaluation and revision of the District Improvement Plan, as well as the District’s educational goals, performance objectives and major classroom instructional programs.

Members are elected from each campus to serve staggered three year terms. District level staff are also elected. The District solicits volunteers from parents, business and community members to serve on the council.
