If you’re a parent or community member who is passionate about creating a welcoming school environment for all students, help us support the inclusive system we envision for Edmonton Public Schools.

We’re seeking three new members to join our Inclusive Education Parent and Community Advisory Committee. We are accepting expressions of interest until 4 p.m. on June 14, 2023. Let’s work together to help provide a welcoming, inclusive school experience for all children. 

All parents and community members are encouraged to apply.

WHAT'S INVOLVED?

Our Inclusive Education Parent and Community Advisory Committee is made up of 10 community members and three representatives from Division administration.

The committee helps the Division strengthen its inclusive education system by:

• enhancing how the Division's Inclusive Education policy and regulations are put into practice
• providing information and advice to Division administrators
• working to bring Alberta Education’s Principles of Inclusive Education to life in our classrooms 

Committee members are expected to:

• serve a three-year term
• attend three early-evening meetings at the Centre for Education each year
