PSR Information

Function
Its function is to initiate and evaluate, by prayerful discernment, educational programs for adults and children based on Catholic tradition in order that they may reach their greatest potential in life, and a closeness to Jesus Christ by:

  • Assisting in the assessment of the Parish's needs and values regarding the Parish's educational endeavors.

  • Establishing goals and objectives for itself

  • Receiving the goals and objectives for the Parish's educational programs established by the administrators (e.g. Principal, DRE, CRE)

  • Review and recommend policies, as needed or requested.
    It is not the responsibility of the Parish Educational Commission to take on the administration of the programs and structures that come into being through the policies that the commission develops.

  • Call for an evaluation of the effectiveness of the parish programs.

  • Reviews the parish education budgets and recommend them to the Finance Commission.
    PEC does not create budgets.

    Problem Resolution
    Under no circumstances should the PEC become a body for grievances.
    The procedure in place that parishioners/parents can follow when they have a complaint about an individual staff member are as follows:

    1. Communication with the person with whom there is a problem

    2. Communication with the person's most immediate supervisor.

    3. Seeking the help of a third party to facilitate discussion. The pastor (if he is not already involved) and the staffs of the Catholics Schools Office and the Office of Religious Education may be helpful in this regard.

    4. Referral of the matter to the local due process procedure.

    5. Providing information concerning the Archdiocesan Mediation Office.
