​One of the most important ways parents/guardians and community members can make a meaningful difference for students is by participating on the school council. Under the Education Act, a school council is a collective association designed to advise the principal and the CBE Board of Trustees on matters related to the school. School councils have legislated advisory. They are different from Parent Societies & Associations, whose main function is to raise funds for the school.​​ You can find more details in the CBE School Council Handbook​.​

School Council

The Marion Carson School Council invites participation of all parents to monthly meetings. These meetings begin at

Future meetings format (online or in-person) will be determined and shared by School Council at a later date.  Minutes will be posted when available under Resources (on the right hand side of this page).
