School Planning Council

  
   

 

  
 

WHAT IS THE SCHOOL PLANNING COUNCIL?
 

In British Columbia, The School Act requires that every school must establish a School Planning Council (SPC) consisting of:

  • the principal of the school;
  • one teacher (elected by the teaching staff at the school);
  • three parent representatives elected by the school PAC (one of whom is an elected officer of PAC).

 
WHAT DOES A SCHOOL PLANNING COUNCIL DO?


The School Act requires that the School Board must consult with a School Planning Council in respect of the following:

a)     the allocation of staff and resources in the school;

b)     matters contained in the board’s accountability contract relating to the school;

c)      educational services and educational programs in the school.
 

 THE SCHOOL PLAN
 

By a date set by the board, the School Planning Council must prepare and submit a school plan to the board for the school in respect of improving student achievement and other matters contained in the board's accountability contract relating to that school.

In each school year, the School Board must approve a school plan for every school in the school district.

The School Planning Council must consult with the PAC during the preparation of the school plan.

The board may approve, approve with modifications, or reject a school plan submitted by the SPC.

 Before approving a school plan, the board may consult with the school planning council about modifications to the school plan, or direct the school planning council to modify all or part of the school plan by a specified date. 

Upon approval, the School Board must make the school plan available to parents of students attending that school.
