Blanchard's School Council is a representative committee composed of the principal, parents, teachers, and community members. The group enhances school-wide decision-making by providing diverse and complementary perspectives on the school's goals and plans.
Massachusetts General Law outlines four major areas of responsibility for School Councils:
-
Adopting educational goals for the school that are consistent with local educational policies and statewide student performance standards
-
Identifying the educational needs of students attending the school
-
Reviewing the annual school building budget
-
Formulating a school improvement plan
If you would like to become involved in Blanchard Memorial's School Council, please contact Principal Dana Labb.
