50. Before 20 May each year, the principal or the person responsible for each school administered by a school board or a regional board shall call a general meeting of the parents of the children who are registered at such school for the following year, to establish a school committee therein.
Not later than that date, the members of the school committee shall hold their first meeting and choose one delegate to the parents’ committee contemplated in section 52 for each of the elementary and secondary levels, where that is the case.
The principal or the person in charge of the school and one representative elected by the teachers of the school for that purpose are members of the school committee but they are not entitled to vote on it or be appointed chairman or delegate to the parents’ committee.
The school commissioners or trustees of the school board or of the regional board which administers that school cannot, however, be members of that school committee.
No parent may continue to act as a member of the school committee or as a delegate to the parents’ committee if his child does not attend school during the school year for which he was registered at that school.
