PURPOSE OF THE SCHOOL COUNCIL
 
3.1.2. THE ROLE AS DEFINED BY THE YORK REGION DISTRICT SCHOOL BOARD 

The policy statement for the Board’s policy on school councils provides a clear sense of the role and reads as follows: The York Region District School Board believes that collaborative and inclusive partnerships, among schools, families and their communities, are essential to improving student learning and increasing a shared sense of accountability for public education. 

Strong partnerships are built from a common vision and common goals, nurtured through regular communication and meaningful consultation, involving all members of the school community [through engagement and inclusion]. 

School councils play an important role in building school, family and community partnerships by providing input into relevant Board and school-level decisions and by encouraging the involvement of all members of the school community in support of student learning, achievement and well-being. While the primary role of a school council is focused within the school community, the Board values advice from school councils on the development and review of policies and other matters of concern to councils. 

The full School Councils policy and procedure can be viewed on the Board website.
