A school council is a representative, school building-based committee composed of the principal, parents, teachers, community members, and, at the secondary level, students, required to be established by each school pursuant to Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 71, Section 59C

There are four major areas of responsibility for councils; school councils are to assist principals in:

•   Adopting educational goals for the school that are consistent with local educational policies and statewide student performance standards

•   Identifying the educational needs of students attending the school.

•  Reviewing the annual school building budget.

•  Formulating the school improvement plan.

Meetings will take place once a month.

Any parent or community member who is interested in serving on the High School School Council is asked to request an application from the office.
