The school council has particular functions in setting and monitoring the school’s direction.
School councils have three main responsibilities:
-
finance: overseeing the development of the school’s annual budget and ensuring proper records are kept of the school’s financial operation
-
strategic planning: participating in the development and monitoring of the school strategic plan
-
policy development and review: developing, reviewing and updating policies that reflect a school’s values and support the school’s broad direction outlined in its strategic plan.
