Guidelines for School Planning Councils

Structure

The school planning council consists of:

  • the school principal,
  • one teacher representative from the teaching staff, elected by secret ballot,
  • three representatives from the school's parent advisory council, all elected by secret ballot, one of whom is an elected officer of the parent advisory council, and
  • one student from Grade 10, 11 or 12, where applicable, appointed annually by the school principal after consultation with the students enrolled in those grades at the school.

Note: A parent is defined in the School Act as:

  1. the guardian of the person of the student or child,
  2. the person legally entitled to custody of the student or child, or
  3. the person who usually has the care and control of the student or child.
