Philip Michael Pennington School Advisory Council

Purpose

Under the philosophy of site-based management in Prince William County Public Schools, the Pennington Advisory Council will represent and assess the needs of the community and staff. The Advisory Council will help develop the School Plan and ensure that it reflects the vision and mission of Pennington. The Advisory Council will act as an advisor to the school administration on the implementation, evaluation, and modification of the School Plan as well as on the budget. The Pennington Advisory Council will identify concerns, obtain community and staff feedback, and support the goals of the educational system.

Meetings

The Pennington Advisory Council will meet once a month from September through May mostly on Zoom. The meetings will be combined with the PTO. The PTO will kick things off at 6:00 PM, with the PAC meeting commencing at the conclusion of their session. Meetings are normally held on the second Wednesday of the month but are subject to change.

Open Chair

A period of time at each Advisory Council Meeting will be designated as open chair time. Any parent, staff member, or member of the community may address the Advisory Council. A person's time is limited to no more than 3 minutes. Time may be extended at the discretion of the Chairperson. It is requested that if a person would like to address the Advisory Council with questions or concerns, that they sign the Open Chair sign-up sheet by 5pm on the day of the meeting. Link to Google Form sign-up will be shared with the Zoom link invite. While those who are interested in addressing their questions or concerns are encouraged to sign up, it is not required.

A response to issues, questions, and/or concerns raised during Open Chair may be given in two (2) ways:
1. Provide a written statement or contact the person(s) prior to the next meeting; or
2. Provide an answer at the next Advisory Council Meeting.
