School Council

Councils can have an unlimited number of members; however, as of July 2007 parents must be the majority of the membership. A parent must also serve as a Chairperson.

At a minimum, a School Council is composed of seven members:

• The Principal
• Two certificated teachers elected by the teachers
• Four parents (or guardians) elected by the parents; two of the parents must be business persons

The school council may, within its bylaws, increase the number of members, as long as the parents remain the majority.

Trickum holds elections each year in May to fill these positions for the following school year.
