From the supplier: Parent advisory councils in Canada must overcome challenges to further parent-educator partnership to meet decision-making goals for education-related issues. Parental influence on school decision making should be guided by resolving questions on authority, scope and parent-educator interests.

The councils should also remove obstacles inherent in academic organizations that limit parental involvement.
