The conversation about the school's financial policy is not always easy. Yet the school participation council gets more power and responsibility to join the discussion. That is why Versterking Medezeggenschap has made a guide. You will find useful tips and tools to have the conversation and ask important questions.

Rights of the School Participation Council

The school participation council has advisory rights on the main lines of the multi-year financial policy. To do this well, there is also a legal right to information. Without information, there is no well-considered advice. The staff group also has consent rights over the staffing. These rights are in the the law.
