Policy 10300 - Parents' Advisory Councils
| The Surrey Board of Education recognizes the positive contribution parents can make to individual schools, and to the system as a whole. Parental involvement is formally acknowledged in legislation through the School Act which defines the formation of Parent Advisory Councils for each school in a district and for a District Parent Advisory Council which represents all schools. These councils are respectively intended, through legislation, to advise principals, the staff, and the Board of Education on “any matter” relating to the school or district. | ||||
| This policy is intended to promote the establishment and operation of such representative bodies. It is the board’s expectation that school administrators and staff will encourage the establishment of parents’ advisory councils and assist with the function of such groups. | ||||
