The purpose of School Councils is to improve pupil achievement and to enhance the accountability of the education system to parents. School councils are able to make recommendations to their Principals and School Boards on any matter. Principals and school boards, in turn, must consult with school councils on a variety of matters that affect student learning. They must also consider recommendations made by school councils and report back to the councils on how they plan to act on their advice.​  A comprehensive guide to school council operations is provided by the Ontario Ministry of Education: School Councils: A Guide for Members.
