School Council Chair/Trustee Liaison Committe Meeting
Thursday, December 7, 2017
7:00 p.m. in the Central Office Board Room

Your
school council is a way that you can get involved in being an advocate for your
children’s education. The School
Council serves as another vital link in the connection of students, schools,
families and the community. Being able to hear, discuss and clarify what is
happening within the school provides parents another way to nurture and support
the education being offered at the school.
School
councils were established in 1995, to increase parent and community involvement
in the education of children in Alberta. Public schools, including charter
schools, are required to attempt to establish school councils. (Alberta
Education, School Councils page). Here is a video link of demonstrating
effective school councils in action:
