----------------------------------------------
“School Councils are the part of the Ed. Reform Law of 1993 that best ensures the meaningful involvement of parents and community members. In that regard, I consider it to be one of the most important provisions of the law and one that schools need to implement aggressively. For all the hard work of educators, if we do not engage and involve parents – our overall success will be limited.”
David P. Driscoll, Commissioner of Education
Each school in Massachusetts is required under the Education Reform Act of 1993 to establish a school council.
The School Council:
1. Assist and advise the principal in adopting goals for the school
2. Assist and advise the principal in the identification of the educational needs of the students in that school.
3. Assist and advise the principal in the review of the school budget request.
4. Assist and advise the principal in the formulation of the school’s improvement plan.
It is important to note the School Council plays an advisory role in assisting the building principal to organize and implement a School Improvement Plan which not only addresses the areas in which the school intends to comply with the requirements of the Educational Reform Act, but also how the school intends to meet those system-wide goals and policies adopted by the school committee. Membership will consist of the principal, teachers, parents, students and community members.
