Each school in Buncombe County has an Advisory Council mandated by the School board. The purpose of the Advisory Council is to act as a liaison between the school and the community. The elementary school Advisory Council is made up of the PTA President (if co-presidents are elected, both members serve on the Advisory Council, but each will have one-half vote), one teacher elected by the school’s teachers, and at least three lay people appointed by the Board of Education, with the school principal serving as an ex-officio member. If you have questions or concerns, please send a letter or e-mail to any member of the council. These issues will be discussed at the regularly scheduled meetings.
