Below you will find the basic results of our June 2013 School Council survey results. We are endeavouring to take these results and find ways to improve the overall effectiveness of our School Council.
School
Council
1. Every school in the Upper Grand District School
Board is expected to have a school council.
The purpose of a School Council is to improve student achievement and
enhance the accountability of the education system to parents. The current
School Council meetings are held on the first Monday of the month in the
library at 3:15.
