School Advisory Council

SACs are volunteer organizations that receive their authority from the Education Act (2018). The establishment of SACs and their roles and responsibilities are set out in the Education Act and the Ministerial Education Act Regulations. SACs are an integral part of Nova Scotia’s public schools. They provide parents/guardians, school staff, community members, and, when appropriate, students, with a voice to influence decisions that impact student learning. As advisory bodies, SACs bring partners together to provide principals and RCEs with advice that reflects the best interests of students from the point of view of the school community.

All SAC meetings are open to the public. If members of the public wish to address the SAC, you are asked to please inform the SAC chair or school principal in writing at least four days prior to the scheduled SAC meeting. They may address the meeting at the discretion of the chair.  You may contact the SAC chair or school principal as follows:

SAC Chair: Jeff Gates at MGEC_sacchair@gnspes.ca

School Principal: Jonathan Ettinger at Jonathan.Ettinger@tcrce.ca
