| School Council Liaison Committee |
INTRODUCTION
Education in Ontario is a partnership of the Ministry of Education, School Boards and school communities. Boards of Trustees are democratically elected and ensure equity of programs for students throughout the district. School Principals are responsible for the planning and delivery of programs that will enable students to meet or exceed acceptable levels of achievement. Principals are expected to work in consultation with their staffs, parents, students and communities in reaching this objective. School Councils have a vital role to play as partners in this collaborative process by providing advice and input on matters including student codes of conduct, school/community communication, and the development of a School Administrative Profile.
COMPOSITION

- One (1) parent or community representative from an elementary and one (1) from a secondary School Council in each Administrative Region of the District School Board of Niagara.
