Governing Board
The Governing Board is a committee made up of parents, teachers and staff, who meet once a month to discuss school business. Governing Boards play a decisional role in schools. They are responsible for issues involving school life, including the school’s educational project, the annual budget and the development of school policies that meet the needs of all students and acts in the best interest of the students.
Our Governing Board consists of a maximum of 12 members; 5 parents, 5 staff members, plus 2 seats reserved for community representatives. The principal takes part in Governing Board meetings, but does not vote. Monthly meetings will be held in the evening.
Governing Board meetings are public and we invite you to attend. If you have an issue, concern, or question, please email us at riverview_GB@lbpearson.ca
