The Council presently services that region in northern Indiana which encompasses LaPorte, St. Joseph, Stark, Marshall, Kosciusko, Jasper, Pulaski, and Fulton counties.

Membership

Membership in the Council is open to any school organization that has a local governing board and subscribes to the purposes of the Council, wishes to share in the activities of the Council, and agrees to pay the required membership fee. Once a school organization has taken membership, it may continue as long as the organization continues to pay the annual membership fee.

Governed By

The Council is governed by an elected Executive Committee consisting of the President, President-Elect, immediate Past President, Treasurer, and two Executive Committee members elected from the membership-at-large.

The Council usually meets on a monthly basis, except in December and July. Meetings are planned to be of interest to a variety of educational personnel within the member school organizations. A dinner for area legislators, members of school boards, and chief executive officers is held annually in November. A dinner for school board presidents and chief executive officers is held annually in April. During June, a two-day summer workshop on topics of educational interest and significance is held.
