Provincial Parent Board

Parents play a critical role in education. The Ontario government is helping parents get involved in the education system. The Provincial Parent Board has two key roles:

• Advice: To advise the Minister of Education on how to increase parent involvement. It also helps the minister develop effective programs and supports for parent involvement - locally, at the board level, and across the province.
• Monitoring: To find out how involved parents are by monitoring:
  • Parent involvement levels
  • The implementation of programs that support parent involvement
  • The effectiveness of parent involvement programs

The board has members from across the province. Each is a parent with at least one child in the publicly funded school system. Together, they will provide a strong voice for all parents on the future of education in Ontario.
