| History | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The Durham Catholic School Board established the Parent Involvement Committee during the 1998-1999 school year. There were four meetings held in the first year. The President of the council was Pat Fowler with the resource provided by Superintendent Christopher Hurst. In January 2011, all school boards in Ontario were required to establish a Parent Involvement Committee. Recent amendments to Ontario Regulation 612/00, by Ontario Regulation 330/10, outline their composition, function and mandate. Today, the Durham Catholic Parent Involvement Committee has expanded and evolved in accordance with Ontario Regulation 612. |
