Advise the principal and the school board.
Consult with other school councils and provincial organizations.
Communicate information to the school community.
Focus on the best interests of all students.

What School Councils are Not:

Roles that are not to be taken on by a school council include:

School governance
Employment issues
School management
Listening to complaints
It is not the primary role of school councils to fundraise or lobby.
