- support staff,
- community representative(s),
- secondary school students, (elementary where appropriate);and
- representative from the Ontario Home and School Association, if such a group exists in the school. (Reg. 612/3.8)
The School Council advises the Principal and the Board on a variety of issues and activities relating to student achievement, curriculum goals and priorities, school budget priorities, school safety, renovation plans, after school activities, and criteria for selection of new principals.
