The primary functions of the advisory council are to develop a budget to provide for the school’s financial and physical well-being and growth; to implement a development program incorporating a long-range plan and including active, positive public relations and marketing of the school; and to formulate broad policies for the school.

ELECTIONS

The election of members of the Sacred Heart Advisory Council shall be held, under the following guidelines:

1. The Sacred Heart School Advisory Council shall be responsible for the method of election of advisory council members.
2. The election of Advisory Council members shall be held during the last week of April in order to fill vacancies or expired terms for the following year. New members will be seated in May at which the election of officers will take place.

Each nominee shall be required to familiarize him/herself with the Diocesan Code of Ethics for Catholic School Advisory Council Members, Constitution of the Local Advisory Council and the responsibilities of Advisory Council members.

1. A ballot that votes for more than the number of seats available for election will be excluded.
2. The Advisory Council will handle any questions arising concerning the election. The Advisory Council’s decision will be final.
