About us

Our Committee

We are composed of a wide range of people and professions. We have no limit on our size at present, and we are always interested in new members. If you are connected to a particular school and wish to raise an issue, you may talk to your principal, or any member of the committee from your school. Currently, almost all our district schools are represented.
