What is the Governing Board (GB)
The governing board is a structure that creates a partnership of parents and staff in the management of the school. The governing board is not involved with the day-to-day running of the school but works with the principal in setting and implementing policy directions for programs and services that will meet the needs of the students and the community.
Functions and powers of the GB
The principal of the school is required to collaborate with the school staff on a variety of educational and pedagogical items and bring proposals to the governing board for approval. Some of these are:
• success plan, and the Management & Educational Success Agreement (MESA)
• rules of conduct and safety measures
• implementation of the basic school regulation
• time allocation for subjects
• enrichment and adaptation of programs to meet local needs
• educational activities such as field trips which change the students’ regular schedule
• implementation of student and special education services
• the use of non-teaching time for educational purposes, and extracurricular activities
• principles for determining the cost of consumable materials
As well, the GB
• must prepare an annual report on its activities for the school board and inform the community about the services provided in the school;
• adopts the school budget submitted by the principal;
• adopts the school’s educational project and oversee its implementation and evaluation;
• must make public the school’s Management & Educational Success Agreement (MESA) and the educational project
