Parent Involvement Committee
Parent Involvement Committee & School Councils
The SCDSB Parent Involvement Committee (PIC) organizes the system School Council meetings. All schools in Ontario have an organized Council comprised of elected parents, a community representative, teaching and non-teaching employees and a school administrator. The participants provide a valuable service to our school community as a support system, as an advisory group and as a forum where educational topics and issues are investigated.
