Guiding PrincipalsAlways ask for input from a wider group, other than who is at the meeting Continue to look at and define what parent involvement really means and stretch boundaries to include all subgroups Principals/ school leadership use advisory suggestions when planning for activities, and then loop back to council regarding feedback Continue to educate FEC For every event, we contact 5 families (per FEC member) who didnt come and find out why and what we can do differently
