- Our goal is to have representation from all aspects of our community to hear perspectives and ideas for the safety, security, and mental & physical health of students and employees.
- The selection process for school-based employees, students, parents, and community members would include this online application, sorting of names by side of the parish, and then a random selection until positions are filled.
- While not a governing, policy-making body, feedback and conversation at these meetings could lead to structural & procedural changes and even some policy review. Any meeting would not be an official meeting of the Board or Board committee.
- The Council will allow us to talk through big changes to our school system but also get feedback on our day to day culture.
