An Act relative to school site councils and the district parent advisory council

This bill amends Massachusetts education laws to clarify the roles and responsibilities of various parent advisory councils, including those for special education, English learners, and general district oversight. It requires these councils to present their work to school committees twice a year and mandates that school districts provide training and a governance manual for council members. Additionally, the legislation directs school councils to review annual state report cards, submit progress reports for budget planning, and complete an annual performance evaluation distributed by June. The state education department is also tasked with creating necessary rules to implement these new requirements.
