Community Committees empower the community to guide its own school.

Carcross/Tagish First Nation signed a Community Committee Agreement with the First Nation School Board on October 11, 2023.

The historic signing of this agreement by C/TFN and FNSB’s Board of Trustees led to the creation of the Ghùch Tlâ Community School Community Committee.

Community Committee agreements are flexible and can change, adapt, and grow over time. They outline which powers of the Education Act are shared between the Community Committee and the school board.
