School Councils

The Edmonton Catholic Separate School District No. 7 recognizes the rights of parents to be involved in their children's education and for parents, community members and school staff to be involved in key decisions about the education of students. In each school in the district, parents and the school community are to be provided with the opportunity to establish and maintain a school council. School councils have a role in advising and consulting with the principal on any matter relating to the school.

A school council is a collective association of parents, teachers, principals, staff, students (where appropriate), and community representatives who seek to work together to promote the well being and effectiveness of the entire school community and thereby to enhance student learning. A school council provides a means to facilitate cooperation among all the concerned participants in the local school.

    1. Each school is to provide for the establishment of a school council with the stipulation that the majority of the members are parents of students attending the school.
      a. Any parent of a student registered in Edmonton Catholic Separate School District No. 7 can serve on a school council.
      b. It is expected that there be an opportunity for representation from both the parish and broader community.
    2. The central focus of the school council must be the desire to create a strong learning environment for the students.
    3. The school council may advise the principal and the board respecting any matter relating to the school. Areas that the council typically addresses are planning, budgeting, communications, community relations, and school programming.
