The School Board policy requires that each school has a School Advisory Forum (SAF) composed of parents, high school students, teachers, community members, school administrators, non-instructional support staff, and community partners. The SAF provides an opportunity for stakeholders to discuss and recommend actions on a variety of school issues.

The Advisory Forum aims to improve the education experience through communication, advocacy, and partnerships between Parents, Schools, and the Broward Country School District.

• Mandated by School Board Policy
• Main purpose is communication between stakeholders, the school, and the Area Advisory Council
• Chair must be a parent

SAF meets about 4 times a year and also visits the district Area Advisory Council. Among the topics discussed are: school safety, student's well-being, calendar start and end of the school year, and traffic issues. 

Every school should have a School Advisory Forum (SAF) that fosters and promotes communication between its stakeholders, the school and the Regional Advisory Council. The SAF should bring recommendations, concerns, and interests to and from their Regional Advisory Council.

• SAF is mandated by SBBC Policy 1.3.
• All meetings are open to the public and aligned to Sunshine Law.
• Membership shall be representative of the school community to include parents or guardians of students enrolled in the school, students of the school, business partners of the school, community members and business people.
• A Broward County School Board employee shall not be the chair at the school where employed.
• Chair and Vice-chair shall be a parent or custodial guardian of a student who will be enrolled and attending the school during their term of service.
