RWA Governing Board
The Governing Board is a committee legislated by the Government, in which equal numbers of parents and staff are represented. The objective of this committee reflects the desire to decentralize decision making, leaving individual schools to make decisions that are in the best interests of their students.
Members of the school participate in the governance of the school by serving on various committees. Most committees are initiated by the school board, principal, teachers and parents. Each faculty member is enouraged to be on at least one committee on which he/she is willing to serve.
A public question period is included on the agenda at the end of the meeting. The period will not exceed 10 minutes and is for questions to be addressed to the Chair of the governing board only. Public must understand that the topic raised must be appropriate to the functions and powers of the governing board. Persons interested in making a presentation must make a request to the school principal at least one week prior to the meeting.
