What is a Parent Advisory Council?

A Parent Advisory Council is a group of parents/guardians, grandparents, or other community members who have a vested interest in public schools with a desire to help make positive changes that promote the community school. The council serves in an advisory capacity to the principal on issues that might affect the entire school community.

Why do we have a Parent Advisory Council?

The primary purpose of the Advisory Council is to serve in an advisory capacity to the principal and school board on matters that affect that school site. Local school advisory councils shall provide a means for citizens to have an integral part in the decision-making process at the school that he/she serves.

Who can serve as an Parent Advisory Council member?

An advisory council member must be an adult who is a proponent of public education and must have demonstrated continual involvement and service to his/her school.

• All but two members must be parents, guardians, or grandparents of a child in the school.

• Two council members may be at-large members.

• A council member must resign or move to “at large” status when his/her child/grandchild no longer attends the school which he/she serves.

How long does a Parent Advisory Council member serve?

Terms of service:

• Advisory council members will serve 3-year terms of service.

• Members selected to fill unexpired terms will serve the remainder of that term.

• A member may serve an unlimited number of terms not to exceed the qualifications for candidates.

Local advisory councils will follow guidelines established in Johnston County Board Policy. If you are interested in learning more about our Parent Advisory Council, please reach out to Mrs. Anders at heatheranders@johnston.k12.nc.us.
