St. Paul Catholic School l Parents

Ten members, 50% elected by the school community and 50% appointed by the Pastor and the Principal, comprise the
voting membership of the School Council. The principal, the pastor, and a P.T.C. liaison are ex officio and non-voting
members of the Council. The Council establishes, reviews, and recommends change in school policy; the Council reviews
the school budget as prepared by the Principal and recommends action on it; the Council, along with the Principal,
establishes both short and long-term goals; and the Council acts in support of administrative decisions and actions that are
taken by the Principal to implement previously established school policy. The Pastor retains the canonical responsibility of
leadership in both parish and school. The School Council meets monthly. Meeting dates, times and location are listed on
the yearly school calendar. Parents are invited, if they wish, to observe regular Council meetings. Participation, however,
is limited to the "Open Forum" which is described in more detail below. The “Open Forum” is that part of the regular
monthly meeting in which non-members may express their opinions, concerns, and suggestions to the School Council.
Persons wishing to speak at the “Open Forum” must present their petitions in writing at least seven (7) days in advance of
the regular meeting date and have it approved for the Agenda. Speakers will be heard in the order in which their petitions
are received. Five minutes will be the maximum time allotted for any person to speak. The Council may respond to
requests for factual information and/or requests for information concerning existing School Council policy. However, the
Council may not deliberate or make a decision at that time on any questions or discussion presented during the forum.
After the “Open Forum”, the Council members or guests may request that any forum topic be added to the next meeting’s
agenda by notifying the President or the Principal one week before the next meeting. Discussions concerning personnel
and salary, which are matters for Executive Session only, are excluded from “Open Forum”.
