School Leadership Councils
The School Leadership Councils are representative bodies of the educational community legally created in 2002 in order to grant greater participation and representation to civil society. They are the highest local academic and administrative authority of each educational center; parents, teachers, students and the management of the center participate in them. They have the power to make decisions on everything related to the academic, administrative and financial management of the school. In this way, they have among others the responsibility to decide on the goals to be fulfilled each year: from baking, supervising, organizing, managing and controlling the resources of the educational center; to adapting the programs of the subjects; creating new subjects in the curriculum, selecting your textbooks; identifying, formulating and monitoring maintenance projects in physical facilities; hiring and dismissing teachers and staff in general; choose the director; and, determining the evaluation of norms for the performance of teachers, staff and students.

Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?
Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?
Decisiveness: does the innovation takes binding, non-binding or no decision at all?
