The Massachusetts Education Reform Act provides for the establishment of local School Councils. The JFK School Council is an advisory board comprised of the Principal, teachers, parents, and a community member at large. The teachers are nominated and elected within the school. The parents are chosen in an election open to all parents. Community members are appointed by the principal.

The School Council works with the Principal to review the budget, discuss school curriculum needs, and to enhance all existing programs. At the end of the academic year, the council develops educational goals for the upcoming school year and presents these ideas in the form of a School Improvement Plan. This plan is presented to the School Committee for approval.
