Under the Ministry of Education's Parent Engagement Policy, all school boards are required to have a Parent Involvement Committee (PIC) comprised of a majority of parents that is directly linked to the Director of Education and Trustees.
The purpose of the Parent Involvement Committee (PIC) is to:
-
support, encourage, and enhance meaningful parental involvement within schools and across the district;
-
seek advice and ideas of school councils and other parents and partners as they plan and implement strategies to involve more parents at the regional level;
-
work collaboratively with the school board;
-
develop strategies for increasing parental engagement and outreach, including parents who find involvement more challenging; and
-
support student success.
The Limestone District School Board PIC organizes the system School Council meetings. 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 with a focus on parent engagement.
