Committee

The Parish Education Committee is a group of elected / appointed St. Edmund’s parents who work with the Principal and Pastor in the running of the school. They are responsible for ensuring that Archdiocesan policies are implemented, as well as for setting local policy for St. Edmund’s School. This policy implementation ranges from teacher salaries to building maintenance. Additionally, the committee oversees the school budget, coordinates fundraising efforts, and coordinates needed repair or construction for identified school areas. The Parish Education Committee also plays a vital role in hiring the staff of the school (in consultation with the Principal and the Pastor). The PEC meets on the second Tuesday of each month – if you would like to attend a meeting then please arrange ahead of time with the chairperson.
PEC


There are seven positions in the Parish Education Committee - five of which are elected by the parish community and two of which are appointed by the Pastor. The members elect a chairperson, and take on specific positions among themselves. These roles include a chairperson, a vice-chair, a secretary, a treasurer, two people in charge of fundraising and maintenance, plus two additional ‘members at large’. Elections for each position are held every two years (our next PEC Election will be in May 2011)

If you are interested in becoming a PEC member, elections for the PEC are held each year in May. A nominating sub-committee is appointed, who then invite and receive nominations from the Parish community. Those eligible to hold office as a member of the PEC are practicing Catholics, approved by the Pastor, who have reached the age of twenty-one (21). Please read the downloadable committee minutes for what has been discussed at PEC Meetings over the past few months. Any documents referred to in the PEC Meeting Minutes should be available in the 'Bulletins' Section under 'Important Documents'.
