The focus of the committee is to support student academic achievement through increased parent involvement. CPIC is a parent-led committee of ward representatives who work both at the Board and at the ward level.

CPIC members provide information and advice on parent engagement to the school board, create initiatives that promote and facilitate parent engagement, and educate parents to support them in their children’s learning at home and/or at school.
