Parent Teacher Student Advisory
Council: longer name reflects those served
Schoharie Jr./Sr. High School's Parent Teacher
Student Advisory Council formed this fall with a longer name that
reflects the many constituencies served.
The council held its first meeting on Oct. 5. Topics
of discussion included the Regents Reform Agenda, Race to the Top and
new assessments for students grades 3-12.
According to Jr./Sr. High School Principal Stacey
DeLaney, "the council encourages open communication and increased
involvement in the school community. PTSAC members share ideas, concerns
and comments about the High School, and are part of the decision-making
process.
Council
members are informed of changes and requirements set by the State Education
Department and of what is expected regarding curriculum, assessment and
performance review.
They also discuss discipline, attendance and other
school-related topics."
PTSAC members include parents/guardians, a School Board member, teachers and
students. The council meets at our school library, the first Wednesday of
each month prior to the Board of Education meeting. The next meeting is
Nov. 2.
