School Council By-Laws	School Council Chairs/Co-Chairs/Vice Chairs, School Council Members, Principals and Vice Principals	This workshop is designed for any School Council member or interested parent/caregiver. TDSB requires that every School Council have a set of working, up-to-date bylaws and have created a template that includes anti-oppressive, equitable language. Councils are asked to use this template 1. as their bylaws; or, 2. as a guideline in creating bylaws that reflect their community. This workshop will guide you through the template, assisting you in understanding how to link it to your Council and community. It will also guide you through the new Conflict Resolution guidelines.	1.5 hours	Thursday, November 17, 2022	Register in advance for this webinar Click here to register for this webinar
