We are looking for three new parent representatives for the Fiske School Council. Site-Based School Councils are mandated by the Education Reform Act of 1993 as part of the Act’s decentralization of decision-making.  The Fiske School Council is composed of equal members of elected teachers and parents working together with the Principal and one community member.  Members serve for two-year terms. 

 

The role of the Fiske School Council is to advise the Principal, especially in creating and evaluating the School Improvement Plan.  The Zoom  School Council meetings will be on Tuesdays 3:30-4:30 p.m. on the following dates;

  • 10/22

  • 11/19

  • 1/28

  • 3/11

  • 4/8

  • 5/ 6

 

If you would like to nominate yourself, or a friend, please contact PTO President Erin Bryan (ebryan27@gmail.com). If needed, the PTO will run an election for interested parties during back to school night on Thursday, September 19th.
