PROVINCIAL PARENT BOARD 
Provincial Parent Board
Board members are parents or guardians of a child in Ontario's publicly funded school system. Their child attends a publicly funded school for at least 50 per cent of the member's term on the board.
The following background is ideal for this challenging role:
- Strong communication skills
- Experience working with school and community groups
- Comfortable discussing and reviewing parent involvement programs
Board members look beyond their own school, community, and interests. They have a broad perspective on parent involvement that is appropriate and relevant to the school system as a whole. The Provincial Parent Board includes:
- Individuals with varied experience (for example, experience on school council, and broader community experience)
- Parents from Ontario's four public education systems (English public, French public, English Catholic and French Catholic)
- Members who reflect Ontario's diversity
- A broad cross-section of communities (for example, rural and urban)
