| Invitation to Join Public School Councils |
|
From the School Council Handbook: "Your school council is an advisory body of volunteers who work together to provide ideas and opinions to help the principal, and sometimes the school board, make the school a better place for learning. Your council should represent the diversity of the school community, which includes the parents and guardians of the children enrolled in the school and other people who live or work in the school's attendance area. It should give your community opportunities to discuss educational issues and respond to local educational needs by providing information for parents and community members, getting feedback from them, and presenting their views to the school and school board." Participation means attending the monthly (sometimes bi-monthly) meetings, and contributing a traditional Christian worldview to the discussions and decisions. Sometimes it just takes one gentle yet firm voice to steer schools away from decisions and practices that are contrary to our faith and convictions. Sometimes a principal is just hoping that a parent will speak up for or against some issue so he/she can justify deciding for or against it. Please be that parent. With Christmas coming, wouldn't it be wonderful to have Christ included as part of every school's assembly celebrations! After all, He is the reason for the season. |
