Interested in learning more about School Council? Interested in getting involved? Have ideas to help our school community? Reach out to us at evanstonheightsschoolcouncil@gmail.com. Our next meeting will be October 20th at 6pm.
One of the most important ways parents/guardians and community members can make a meaningful difference for students is by participating on the school council. Under the Education Act, a school council is a collective association designed to advise the principal and the CBE Board of Trustees on matters related to the school. School councils have legislated advisory and decision-making authority defined within the Education Act and the School Councils Regulation. They are different from Parent Societies & Associations, whose main function is to raise funds for the school. You can find more details in the CBE School Council Handbook.
