District Education CouncilPSSC OrientationPSSC Handbook How can I get involved as a member of the PSSC? Parents/guardians of students in your school elect parent/guardian members at a meeting organized by your school principal in September of each year. If you are interested in being a parent member, talk to your principal or PSSC members about vacancies and eligibility requirements. There are no special skills or experience needed. However, there are some limitations; for instance, you cannot be an employee who works at the school. To serve as a community member, you must be nominated by a parent member of the PSSC.
