Council Purpose

The MRPS Caregiver Council is composed of caregiver representatives from each school. They meet with the Superintendent, Director of Curriculum & Technology, Director of Student Services, Director of Social Emotional Learning & Wellness, and Communications Specialist on a monthly basis during the school year. Members work together to:

  • identify common needs and goals among the caregivers of students enrolled in MRPS;

  • provide the District administrative team with feedback and insight from the caregiver's perspective on district processes, procedures, and system development efforts;

  • ensure that the needs of caregivers are considered as decisions are made in the district particularly in the areas of special education, social emotional learning, communications, and curriculum and teaching;

  • bring to the District leadership’s attention existing and emerging issues expressed by caregivers across the district;

  • serve as an advisory, not a decision-making body, that makes recommendations, encourages brainstorming, and provides opportunities for caregiver involvement;

  • facilitate communication between and among the caregivers and MRPS PIE; 

  • serve as a forum for sharing innovations and best practices from around the district.

Council Basis for Establishment

The Caregiver Council to the Superintendent is composed of caregiver representatives from each school. They meet with the superintendent and other district staff on a monthly basis during the school year to discuss a variety of topics, share information, and broaden understanding of school-related issues.
