The council meets five times throughout the year to discuss issues and share input that each member gathers from their respective schools. This input is collated and shared as advice to the SD73 board of education. That’s the technical part of the council. As a trustee, I have the privilege of sitting on this council, along with my colleague, trustee Heather Grieve. This is an amazing group and its insights are extremely thoughtful and honest. Prior to each meeting, the representatives of each school are tasked with some questions. In turn, they take these questions back to their student body and get feedback. This feedback is then shared at the council meetings.
