Professional Personnel Leadership Committee (PPLC)

 
The purpose of the PPLC is to develop and formally present recommendations to the principal and the local school council on all matters of educational program, including but not limited to curriculum, school improvement plan development and implementation, and school budgeting.
 
The PPLC shall meet once a month with the principal to make recommendations to the principal regarding the specific methods and contents of the school’s curriculum and to make other educational improvement recommendations approved by the committee. A report from the committee regarding these matters may be an agenda item at each regular meeting of the local school council.
 
The principal shall provide the committee with the opportunity to review and make recommendations regarding the school improvement plan and school budget. The teacher members of the local school council may bring motions concerning the recommendations approved by the committee, which motions shall formally be considered at meetings of the local school council.

The November Meeting will take place on October 29, 2024. The January Meeting will take place on January 7, 2025.

The SY2025 to SY2028 Collective Bargaining Agreement between the Chicago Teachers Union and the Chicago Board of Education now mandates that schools abide by PPLC requirements as set forth by Illinois State Law. The contract further requires that in the absence of a PPLC, the PPC will fulfill the PPLC's role and manage the PPLC agenda separate and distinct from the PPC agenda at the meeting. The legal code governing PPLCs can be found here: 105 ILCS 5/34-2.4a from Ch. 122, par. 34-2.4a 
 
 
Minutes from the meetings will be posted here.
