School Councils were created as part of the provisions of the A+ Education Reform Act.  The School Council is an advisory group which provides advice and recommendations to the school principal on issues such as student achievement and the Local School Plan for Improvement, school-community communication strategies, budget priorities and staffing needs.  Additionally, the Annistown School Council maintains the Tiger Pride program and Teaching Excellence Fund which were created by the Committee for School Excellence.

Membership of the council includes a minimum of seven members, including the school principal and an equal number of parent and teacher representatives, among others.  A minimum of four meetings is required annually. 

As prescribed by the Reform Act, the School Council is comprised of at least two teachers, at least two parents, two business representatives and the principal.  The members serve for two years and attend monthly meetings which are open to all.

The dates and times of the School Council meetings are listed below.  Please plan to join us for these meetings.  School wide issues and informational sessions are planned.  The School Council offers a great opportunity to learn more about the many programs which we offer students and to be part of the planning for future endeavors!
