Who makes decisions for Sylmar?

The current plan says families gave input through Coffee with the Principal, School Site Council, ELAC, and Local School Leadership meetings.
District decisions
LAUSD governs the school and sets districtwide budgets and policies.
School planning
The current targeted-student plan identifies Carlos Tobar as principal and describes school-level supports and spending.
Family input
The plan says families shared input through Coffee with the Principal, School Site Council, ELAC, and Local School Leadership meetings.
Public-record limit
The available school record does not include agendas or minutes from the school-level bodies.
The absence of those meeting records does not show that the meetings did not occur; it limits what families can independently check in this collection.
Where the school stands
The summary lists staffing, salary items, materials and supplies, and support costs. It includes cafeteria funding.
These funds are targeted to low-income students, English learners, and students in foster care; they are not the whole school budget.
