Summary/Abstract: The Council of Parents of the Complex of Sports School No. 1 in Krapkowice conducted a survey among the school parents, including the following question: “Do you mind, that a crucifix is hang in the area of school education?” This action was publicly denounced by the Opole School Superintendent, who initiated proceedings under pedagogical supervision. Author of this opinion proves that the Council of Parents is acting within its competencies while spreading the survey in question. This is because it represents the parents in all matters relating to the operation of the school, and in the opinion-forming process, it may refer to parents with questions and petitions. Those questions may concern even ideological issues, as the Council of Parent is not a public authority, and therefore is not required to maintain worldview impartiality.
