The Collaborative School Committee (CSC) works with the school community to enhance student achievement and school climate by engaging the school community to support the school and District’s goals. It provides strategic direction in support of Denison’s mission and vision as stated in the UIP.
We want to add at least two parents and one community member for the 2026-2027 school year. If you are interested, please email Ms. Natalie at nfickes@dpsk12.net for more information.
CSC meets the second Tuesday of each month, at 4:00 p.m. Meetings are open to the public.
Parents and teachers can request that an issue be placed on a meeting agenda by contacting any CSC representative. Parent representatives are selected by a vote of the parents and faculty representatives are selected by a vote of the teachers. CSC representatives serve two-year terms.
