Principal's Advisory Board
Principals Advisory Council
The Bylaws set forth in this document detail the purpose, constitutional principles and non-negotiables (code of conduct) the group must follow to conduct business in an orderly manner. The principal’s advisory council is open to all Bedford Academy scholars. However, you must be committed and provide your most precious resource, your time.
Our Purpose:
To build on the positive community principles in Bedford Academy and improve on previous ideas that benefit the collective school community. The council will field ideas from the school community and seek to build upon ideas to determine the viability of the ideas articulated by the general student body. In addition, develop ideas that emanate from the council itself. The ultimate objective is to create an atmosphere that ensures that all members of the school community receive a high-quality education, function in a safe environment, engage in social and emotional activities that promote mental and physical health and engage in community service activities that benefit the school community.
