About the School Parent Council

• Every school must have a School Parent Council (SPC). All parents who have children at that school are members. Only parents can be members.
• The SPC is the place where parents can express their concerns, advocate for the school, and plan school activities and events. 
• The SPC elects its Executive Committee at a meeting held each year in the fall, not later than October 15. Also elected are parents to serve on the:
  • School Site Council
  • Citywide Parent Council
  • District English Learner Advisory Council (DELAC)
  • Special Education Parent Advisory Council (SPEDPac)
• SPC officers are supposed to meet regularly with the principal to discuss school-wide issues.
• School Parent Councils are required to follow open meeting law.
