School Council

The Runkle School Council was formed after the passage in 1993 of a law mandating that every public elementary, secondary and independent vocational school in the Commonwealth establish a School Council.

The Runkle School Council meets regularly. Its duties include:

  • assisting in the identification of the educational needs of the students
  • making recommendations to the principal for the development, implementation and assessment of the curriculum accommodation plan required by state guidelines
  • assisting in the formulation of a school improvement plan
