The law specifies that the council is to consist of: parents of students attending the school; teachers; and other persons drawn from the community. The number of parent representatives must be equal to the number of professional school personnel who serve on the council. Not more than fifty percent of the council shall be non-school members." Non-school members are defined as members who are "other than parents, teachers, students, and staff at the school".

The principal is required by law to serve as one of the co-chairs of the council. Parents and Teachers are elected from their respective groups. The principal appoints the community members.
