What number of people is ideal for a steering committee?
You need a minimum of three people for an effective committee. There is no ideal maximum number of participants. Create subcommittees as your group grows. At the elementary school level it’s ideal to have one parent and one teacher co-chair the committee to form links to both the Parent-Teacher Association and school staff. For high schools, it works best if the committee is co-chaired by one teacher and one student to encourage links between staff and students.
