What is the TDSB Student SuperCouncil?
The TDSB Student SuperCouncil, is a lot like a school based Student Council. Democratically elected students from all four quadrants in the TDSB form this council. SuperCouncil allows the student voice to be heard in the TDSB Board room. SuperCouncil holds and/or participates in a large web of meetings throughout the year: Executive Meetings, Quadrant Meetings, Sub-Committee Meetings and TDSB Boardroom Meetings.
What is the Mandate of the Student SuperCouncil?
- to represent all TDSB students
- to help ensure students’ needs and interests are met with the proper attention
What precisely does the Student SuperCouncil do?
SuperCouncil builds a bridge between the TDSB Student Body and TDSB Executives allowing Student Voice to be heard in the Boardroom. We discuss issues and concerns, plan board-wide initiatives, foster student leadership and facilitate communication between the TDSB Boardroom and all students in the TDSB.
