The Challenge Facing Parent Councils in Canada.
McKenna, Mary; Willms, J. Douglas
Childhood Education, v74 n6 p378-82 1998
Describes the context of parent advisory councils in Canada, which were formed as the result of legislation to increase parental communication and authority in the schools. Discusses three aspects of the challenge to increase parent participation in the schools: establishing parents' authority as decision makers, expanding parents' roles, and widening the constituency of involved parents.
