CPIC--Catholic Parent Involvement Committee

Fall News Update 

CPIC had a busy fall term, including its CSAC Conference held on November 14th. We had an overwhelming number of dedicated parents from across the TCDSB, gather at the CEC to share and learn about effective parent involvement. Topics included Running Effective School Councils, CSAC By-laws, Budget Consultation Process, Parent Leadership, Governance, Safe Schools, Family Literacy and Student Success, with Betty Boult as the keynote speaker. After being welcomed by our Director of Education, and MPP Laura Albanese, York South-Weston, speaking on behalf of the Minister of Education, Ms. Boult's keynote address had the group captivated. Ask your CSAC about the materials they received for your school. CPIC purchased a copy of Ms. Boult's book, “176 Ways to Involve Parents”, for each school's parent library. Contact your CSAC if you want to read it.

In February, your CPIC reps will begin hosting meetings with parents in their wards. Where possible they will be held in conjunction with the Trustee's ward meeting. Each meeting will provide you with a local opportunity to be updated and contribute your voice to such topics as the 2010-11 budget and the TCDSB Strategic Plan.  Stay tuned for more information.
