The purpose of the school governance team will be to support schools so they have a greater opportunity to positively impact student achievement. There will be a review process put in place with a rubric developed by staff so all school governance teams can monitor their own performance to ensure effectiveness. This will not be busy work but a standards-based rubric to help guide the work of the governance team.
In July 2012 School Governance Teams were established, replacing School Councils, giving parents and community members greater opportunity to participate in school-level planning.
