Strathcona Parent Advisory Council

 Strathcona Elementary School PAC/Parent Information Page All parents/guardians of children in a school are members of that school's Parent Advisory Council (PAC). According to the B.C. School Act, the school parents, through their elected representatives on the PAC executive, may consult with the principal and staff at their school "...respecting any matter relating to the school other than matters assigned to the school planning council".

Topics on which PACs offer advice and assistance may include:
  • school philosophy and program priorities;
  • school regulations and general student conduct;
  • the curriculum, new instructional programs, facilities, equipment and learning resources;
  • budget, alterations and renovations to facilities;
  • safety programs and procedures;
  • alternatives for identifying, communicating and meeting unique community needs;
  • appropriate school evaluation matters;
  • communicating ideas from the community to the board of education and school staff;
  • informing the community about decisions made at the school, district and ministry levels;
  • methods to ensure racial and cultural understanding and to improve the sense of community within the school neighbourhood;
  • methods of resolving school-community differences and improving relations;
  • methods to encourage other community individuals and groups who do not have children of school age to attend meetings to express their ideas and share their concerns.
The Parent Advisory Council is not a forum for discussion of individual staff members or students. Such discussion should be arranged privately with the teacher, principal or associate superintendent by those concerned.
