Prior to each meeting, a meeting agenda will be dispatched to all parents and the school administration. After each meeting, minutes will be maintained and documented within the school files, ensuring proper record-keeping and transparency.

All members of the Parents Council (PC) are expected to attend all meetings. If a member is absent three times or misses 50% of the total meetings during an academic year without an acceptable justification, their absence will be considered a withdrawal from the council. In such cases, a new member will be selected immediately to fill the position.

The Parents Council (PC) at Al-Rawabi School follows a democratic decision-making process. Decisions are made through voting, with each member having an equal vote. The outcome is determined by the majority vote, ensuring that the views of the majority guide the actions and recommendations of the PC.

A meeting will only proceed if at least half plus one of the members are present. If this quorum is not met, the meeting will be canceled.
