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

This bill requires school committees in Massachusetts to work with three types of parent advisory councils (special education, English learner, and district parent councils). It mandates these councils provide biannual reports to school committees, receive training funded by the school committee, and assess school needs using federal report cards. Schools must submit progress reports on goals twice yearly for budget planning and complete an annual group performance evaluation by June. The bill establishes concrete reporting and assessment requirements for school councils without altering funding or student eligibility.
