I I m m Advisory Councils Topic At School Board Retreat THE BRljN-SWii K HEAlXlN. Thunday, Jamrary IS, 1987-Page 9-A BY ETTA SMITH Brjiawick County Board of Educa tion iiieinbers discussed developing a wcU-dcflncd role (or local school ad visory councils during a day-long retreat lost Saturday. The workshop, held at Sea Trail Golf I Jnks at Sunset Beach, featured guest .speaker Mary Willis of the School Council >Vssislance Program at the University of South Carolina. Board members took no action at tl»e informal session. Willis told board members that the program is coordinated by the department of Education at the university nnd provides school c6Un- clls with tcclmical assistance, train ing and other resources. According to Superintendent of Schools Gene Yarbrough, “The state requires the school advisory coun cils. Tliey’re funded by tike local education agency and each school has a council with six elected members." He added that tike parent-teacher Yarbrough said that the board MAA TVOMV* MfC W hSg vuicr functions besides those that are nar row and negative. The duties of the county's councils presently consbt primarily of repor ting complaints and grievances, in cluding complaints about school per sonnel, said Yarbrough. He said the current role of the county's councils is outmoded, and the board would like to see the coun cils serve in a more positive capaci ty. By state law, the councils are to meet monthly with their principal. It Is each council’s responsibility to not only report compllants as noted above, but also to Inspect school pro perty and report damages or misuse; to improve communication and understanding of public education; assbt iii prograiTt planning; rectnn- mend policy and policy amend ments; serve as the community education advisory council for schools designated as community organization preside.nl at each school school sites* assis .serves us the seventh member of each council.
