What is the School Council?

Pursuant to Georgia law, school councils are policy-level advisory bodies composed of certified teachers, parents (who must be the majority), and the principal, among others. The Council provides recommendations and guidance on matters such as school improvement plans, curriculum, assessments, policy suggestions, and budget priorities. By law, at least two certified teachers must be elected by their peers to serve as teacher representatives on the Council.
