School Community Council (SCC)

What is a School Community Council (SCC)?

The School Community Council (known as an SCC) is a group of interested parents, school staff and community members who work with the principal as an advisory group to support the students of the school.

How often does the SCC meet?

* All parents and guardians are welcome to attend all meetings.
SCCs meet at least four times each school year, but many meet more frequently.

You can view the DDSB SCC Meeting Handbook here.

Can I go to my SCC meetings?

Yes, all meetings are open to the public, but you must be a member of the SCC to vote. Meeting dates and times are established at the beginning of the school year. Please look on your schools website, newsletters or phone the school office to find out the meeting dates.

How do I become a member of my SCC?

* All parents and guardians are welcome to attend all meetings.
Complete a nomination form, and return it to the principal at the start of the school year. Elections for the executive parent members, if necessary, will be held during the first month of school.

What will I have to do if I become a voting member of the SCC?

You should plan to attend all SCC meetings during the year and participate in the decision making conducted by the SCC. In addition, many SCC’s help initiate and support the Parent Reaching Out (PRO) grants.
