We are encouraged that admin has reached out to Council to plan a meeting with council co-chairs. We are confident that Runnymede council remains compliant with all requirements and hope this can be acknowledged ASAP so we can continue to work on behalf of parents at Runnymede.
We’re happy to share that many of our council chairs have been in contact with the school and have been continuing to move forward with initiatives such as green teacher, pizza day and Illuminations.
Representatives from Council exec have a meeting tomorrow with our Trustee Debbie King to share our point of view and to seek assistance in moving forward productively and positively with the TDSB and our school’s administration.
Here is the link to our FAQ which includes the planned Agenda for last week’s Council meeting.
We also understand that there has a lot been a lot of discussion about Runnymede School Advisory Council / Runnymede Public School Council & HSAs in recent days!
Who is “Runnymede Council“?
All parents and guardians at Runnymede Public can be members of Runnymede School Advisory Council. Anyone in attendance at the first meeting of the year can become a voting member.
The Runnymede Council executive committee is made up of elected volunteers.
Our executive team are parents who are also working professionals willing to lend their expertise and knowledge in their spare time to benefit the school community.
Although professional experience is not necessary to volunteer, this year’s council includes four Accountants and a mix that includes Lawyers, an Architect, a Registered Nurse, Business owners, PR executives, Teachers, and a University Professor. Some of our experienced parent volunteer executive team have have even had children at Runnymede for 12 and 15 years already!
It is also important to note that all Runnymede Council financial records are made publicly available as per CRA requirements and the executive committee have continued to be compliant with all these regulations throughout the year.
As always, we’re continuing to update our parent FAQ page. If you have a question that’s not addressed there, please fire it our way.
We look forward to being in touch soon,
Your Runnymede Council Exec Team
