About School Councils
A school council is a representative, school building-based
committee composed of the principal, parents, teachers, community
members and, at the secondary level, students, required to be
established by each school pursuant to Massachusetts General Laws
Chapter 71, Section 59C.
It is important to note the School Council plays an advisory
role in assisting the building principal to organize and implement a
School Improvement Plan which not only addresses the areas in which the
school intends to comply with the requirements of the Educational Reform
Act, but also how the school intends to meet those system-wide goals
and policies adopted by the school committee. Membership will consist of
the principal, teachers, parents, students and community members. |
