School Councils

The School Councils were created by Law 19.979 of the Daytime Full School Day, for all subsidized establishments in the country. They are a participative space integrated in the schools and high schools of Chile. The councils protect all members of the educational community: supporters, managers, teachers, parents, caretakers, students, and education assistants. The School Councils should be consulted on: Institutional Educational Projects; annual programming and extracurricular activities; the goals of the establishment and proposed improvement projects; the written report of the educational management of the establishment as made by the director annually before being presented to the educational community; the elaboration and modification to the internal regulations of the establishment, without prejudice of the approval of the same if it had been granted this attribution.
