SCHOOL GOVERNANCE INFORMATION
If the school has a parent, parent-teacher organization and/or a school advisory board, those involved are advised that these bodies exist to support the school and are important for the school's viability, but they have very different functions. Parent, parent-teacher organizations, school advisory boards and their members do not have any authority to act independently on behalf of the school or parish. They are not "agents" of the school or parish and any actions taken must receive the official written approval of the pastor and/or the principal as the case may be.
