All schools should have a School Parent Council (SPC). The School Parent Council is the place where parents can express their concerns and advocate to support their school. School Parent Council co-chairs meet regularly with the school administrator to discuss parent concerns. School administrators are instructed to provide support for elections and meetings. School Parent Councils elect parent representatives to serve on the School Site Council by October 15 every year.

As a parent of a BPS student YOU ARE AUTOMATICALLY A MEMBER OF YOUR SCHOOL PARENT COUNCIL.

As a member of your School Parent Council: YOU CAN ELECT PARENTS TO REPRESENT YOU ON THE SCHOOL SITE COUNCIL.
