The Esther Starkman School Council and the Esther Starkman Parent Association are separate boards both made up of volunteers that work together to support our school. The two boards are governed and run separately, however many volunteers serve on both boards. The boards work together to align their priorities to ensure that we are supporting the school as effectively as possible.
