The relationship with the P&C
-
The P&C Association provides financial and resource input to the school.
-
The P&C can also seek information and discuss matters which can then be passed on to the board for possible inclusion in the school development plan or policy.
-
The P&C cannot make policy for the school.
-
The P&C provides a representative for the school board, therefore, has some influence in the decision making process.
-
Both the board and the P&C need to have good communication with each other to enable the school to meet its purpose and vision.
