A School Advisory Council (SAC) is a volunteer group established under the Nova Scotia Education Act that gives parents, school staff, students, and community members a voice and advice on school matters.
SACs are not decision-making boards, but they advise the school principal and the Regional Centre for Education on topics that affect the school community.
SACs help ensure that school planning and improvement efforts are shaped by voices from inside and outside the school, keeping the focus on what’s best for students. They encourage local input, shared responsibility, and better communication between families, educators, and the community.
Education is a shared responsibility.
The best interests of students must be the first consideration for all decisions.
People at the local school level have important perspectives that should be considered in decision making.
School improvement leads to increased student achievement.
New policies should take into account the unique characteristics of each school community.
Partners need to use teamwork skills and strategies to manage change effectively.
Involving the community in school improvement will enhance learning for all students.
