Since 1991, every public school in the State of Kansas is required to have a Site Council.  The group serves an important role in school improvement.  During the course of the year, the Site Council is kept abreast of important aspects of school life, provides input regarding issues facing the school, and is part of the overall school improvement process.  Collaborative dialogue is a key component of Site Council.

Site Council is composed of parents, business leaders, teachers, students, and administration.  All Site Council meetings are open to patrons of Sunflower Elementary.  The group reports annually to the USD 231 Board of Education.
