School Advisory Council

What is the SAC

The purpose of a School Advisory Council (SAC) is to act as an advisory body to the school principal and to the Chignecto Central Regional Centre for Education on a wide range of issues, including policies, curriculum and programs, school practices, student-support services, fund-raising, parent-school communication, and school improvement. Most importantly, an SAC participates in the ongoing efforts of the school to continuously improve student achievement and school performance.

School advisory councils are volunteer organizations that were established by the Nova Scotia Education Act, and are made up of parents, community members, the school principal, teachers and school support staff. Each school within the CCRCE has a School Advisory Council. For more information, visit ednet.ns.ca/sac.
