Membership in the PSC
Membership in the Sylvania Parent School Council is open to anyone in the Sylvania community. All interested parties are invited to attend the meetings and have voting privileges.

Each school’s parent organization is responsible for selecting a minimum of two representatives to the council for each school year. In the event of a school representative vacancy, the parent organization can select an individual to fill the rest of the year.

The central office administrators and principals serve as advisors to the group along with a Board of Education liaison elected each year.

There is a minimum of four general meetings each school year. Anyone is invited to attend the meetings throughout the year.

Meetings are generally held on the first Friday of each month during the school year at noon in the Zimpfer Conference Room, 3rd floor of the Burnham Building at 6850 Monroe Street. Meetings may be altered from the schedule as needed to address new or continuing concerns of the council and/or district. Check district newsletters for any changes in times and or dates.

These meetings are open to the public - we invite your attendance and support throughout the year. Additional questions and/or concerns, please contact one of the PSC officers below.
