What is the SAC?

The SAC  The YCMHS School Advisory Council (SAC) works closely with the school to help bring positive support to the students and staff, and its membership includes, students, staff, parents, and  community members, which attempts to allow a voice for everyone concerned. Our meetings are generally held on the last Wednesday of the month at 7PM and are open to the public.  Any members of the public who wish to address the school advisory council are asked to inform the SAC through the chair or the school principal in writing at least one week prior to the school advisory council meeting.  They may address the meeting at the discretion of the chair.  There will be no in camera sessions.
