Which committees are actually included in the policy at your school, and what their duties will be, depends on your mission statement and goals. Many may exist under different names at different schools, for example the Communications Committee at one school may be the Public Relations Committee at another. Committees are a way of spreading the workload and a way of providing opportunity for input to a larger number of staff and parents, many of whom may not be able to make the commitment to sit on council but would like the opportunity to contribute. The school council will direct the committees as to their responsibilities and will act upon recommendations made by the committees. Jurisdiction of Committees General Responsibilities Committees shall carry out their roles as directed by the council including, but not limited to the responsibilities listed in this section.
