School Advisory Council (SAC)

What is a School Advisory Council SACs bring together school stakeholders and individulas from local communities who share an interest in promoting student success.  They provide pararnets/guardians, school staff, community members and when appropriate, students, with a voice to influence decisions that have an impact on student learning and well-being.  As advisory bodies, SAC's bring parners together to provide principals and regional centers of education with advice that reflects the best interests of students from the point of view of the school community.  SAC's receive their authority from the Education Act.
