School Councils are advisory bodies composed of volunteers who work together to provide ideas and recommendations to the school principal or to the Board on such matters as codes of conduct within schools, appropriate dress of students in schools, fundraising, development of implementation plans for new education initiatives that relate to student achievement or to the accountability of the education system to parents, professional development of teachers and the selection and placement of principals and vice-principals.

Although membership on the standing committees shall not be limited to voting members of the council, there shall be at least one voting member of the council on each standing committee.  The committees shall report back to the council, for approval, their respective proposed plan of action.
