The School Advisory Council exists at the discretion of the Pastor and Head of School and is designed to be of a strictly consultative nature. The Council is designed to serve as a sounding board to the Pastor and Head of School. When called upon, the Council gives feedback to the Head of School and Pastor regarding policy and standards for the school. Matters involving curriculum, personnel, and individual student concerns of a confidential nature are solely at the control of administrators and pastors and are not appropriate topics for school council consideration. School council members are appointed in cooperation between the Pastor and Head of School. Confidentiality of board members is essential. Any breach of confidentiality is a violation of by-laws and members will be removed from the board.
