| Governing Board |
| The Ministry of Education mandates all schools in the province of Quebec to convene a governing board. The governing board is to be made up of staff members, parents, school administrators and may even include a community member. Here is some information from the Ministry of Education's website concerning school governing boards:The Governing Board of the School: |
Every school now has a Governing Board made up of an equal number of parents and school staff. Members of the community and students in the second cycle of secondary school may also attend, but do not have the right to vote. The Board, which is always presided over by a parent, is responsible for approving a number of issues including the development, implementation and evaluation of the school’s educational project, the approach for the implementation of the basic school regulation, the time allocation for each subject, the student supervision policy, the school budget and the use of premises. The Governing Board is necessarily consulted on other issues, including the choice of school textbooks and instructional materials, school closings, selection criteria for the appointment of the principal and the school’s confessional status.
