The Yukon Education Act recognizes the rights of parents and other members of the community to be involved in their children's education through representation on a School Council. School Councils work with parents, school administration and the Department of Education to represent the community they serve. Jack Hulland School Council provides a community perspective when decisions are made about school programming. The School Council's mandate is defined by the Yukon Education Act.

Parents are welcome at any or all meetings, which will be held the first Wednesday of each month at 7:00 p.m. in the school library.
