About the School Council

Responsibilities

The management and control of Cherokee County public schools remains the responsibility of the Cherokee County Board of Education, the Superintendent of Schools, and the Principal. School Councils are advisory bodies that provide advice, recommendations, and assistance while representing the community of parents and businesses.

Membership

A School Council must consist of at least seven members: the Principal, two teachers elected by the faculty, and four parents elected by parents. Two parent representatives must also be businesspeople. Parent and teacher representatives serve staggered two-year terms, with one teacher and two parents elected each year. Elections are held near the beginning of the school year.
