School Advisory Councils are an excellent way for parents to get involved in their child`s education. TDSB schools must have an elected school council that is an important forum for involving all members of the school community in issues that affect the education of students. The school advisory council is made up of an elected committee of parents, staff and student representatives, appointed community members, the principal, and a general membership which includes all parent of children attending the school. The school council advises the principal 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.
