A school council (conseil d'école) is set up in all establishments which are composed of a place of primary level teaching which is under the responsibility of a school head teacher.
When the establishment is only comprised of primary teaching, the 'conseil d'école' carries out the tasks of the board of governors.
A committe responsible for the internal organisation of a secondary school (conseil du second degré) is set up in establishments where there is secondary level teaching.
A board of governors (conseil d’établissement) reponsible for the primary and secondary teaching and, should it be necessary, the post-bac classes is set up as soon as a 'conseil d'école' and an a 'conseil du second degré' exist within the establishment.
