The detailed procedure for the formation of SMCs is outlined in Model Rule 13. State governments may modify the procedure if they deem necessary. Apart from the statutory requirement that 75% members shall be parents of children studying in the school, 50% of the total members women, the model rule prescribes that the Chair and Vice Chairpersons should be from amongst the parents; it should meet at least once a month, the minutes of its meetings should be made public and so on.
