It is the new name for all parent organizations in our school division. 

 

There will be some changes in membership (new members) and some changes in the role of the council (advising schools and the Board on certain topics) 

 

The structure of education across the province hasn’t really been updated since 1944. As we all know, the world has changed a great deal in the last 62 years! A recent study likened these changes in society to an earthquake of 7.5 on the Richter scale. This “earthquake” has a great impact on schools and they are trying hard to cope. As a result, the government is updating education in a variety of ways – SchoolPLUS, Continuous Improvement Framework, Amalgamation, Taxation, Funding, and School Community Councils. 

 

Some of the details are still “in progress”. For updates, talk to your Principal, check the system website www.rcsd.ca , watch for more information in your school newsletter and parish bulletin. ​
