Leigh-Ann Pahapill ASAc Secretary ----- Original Message ----- From: Pantomime Productions To: 'Alternative Schools Advisory Council' Sent: Thursday, November 13, 2003 12:57 PM Subject: APS research - please help We are being told by the TDSB that our current council "set up" is not recognized by the Board but yet my calls to several "regular" schools indicate that many others schools have separate Incorp entities / charities that fundraise the way we do and that the School Advisory Council is for Policy only. I would like to get some feedback on how other "Alternative Schools" are set up.Ê Please note:Ê I need to be able to use any of the information you provide so do not include anything you are uncomfortable with sharing via email - you can call me, in confidence, however, if you feel it would be useful for me to know. Below are a list of questions I would like answered as soon as possible please: Questions for Council / Parent Assoc. Ê a.. How many councils do you have?Ê What are they called?ÊÊ Do you have School Advisory Council? Ê b.. Does your SAC fundraise? Ê c.. Do you ask parents for large donations? Ê d.. Is the same group of people on your Assoc. on the SAC as well? Ê e.. Where do your councils meet?Ê On school property or someone's home?Ê Are they allowed to be held in the school? Ê f.. What does the relationship with your principal look like?Ê Do they control, work with, are they on each board? Ê g.. How do the teachers / principal request & receive money - is it paid to the school or come directly from the Parents Group/Assoc. Account? Ê h.. Could you provide an ORG chart of how your school and it's councils / staff works? Thank you, in advance, for anyone who is able to assist me in this matter.Ê I have asked for the "perfect model" from the TDSB but they have yet to provide me with one and it seems that ALL schools work differently to suit there own needs.
