Parent School Support Committee

Who is on the PSSC? 

Parent Members 

Parents make up the majority of PSSC members. They are elected at the beginning of the school year for a three-year term. Parents must have a student who is enrolled in the school to be a member of the school’s PSSC.  

Student Member 

Schools with high-school students can elect a student representative. Schools without high-school students may choose to appoint a student representative. 

Teacher Member 

One teacher is elected by colleagues at the school to serve for a one-year term. 

Home and School Association Member 

If there is a Home and School Association at the school, they may appoint one of their members to the PSSC. 

Community Members 

Parent members may appoint up to 2 community members to join the PSSC. However, community members can only be added if the PSSC has filled all other positions and still has less than 12 members. 

Principal 

The principal participates in PSSC meetings and works collaboratively with members but is not a PSSC member and cannot vote.
