THE ROLE OF THE “IN-SCHOOL” COMMITTEE

The advisory role of the “In-School” Committee will be to provide ideas and opinions to assist the principal and, where appropriate Kahnawake Combined Schools Committee in their decisions-making on educational issues. The advice should be based on the general views of the school community, and the best interests of students throughout the school. In-School committee must operate within the K.C.S.C. policies and procedures.
