Accountability Committees
District Accountability Committee (DAC)
The DAC is a Board appointed committee which brings together staff, parents, and community members to advise the District and Board on plans to promote high achievement throughout the District, including identifying priorities for spending, providing input on the district performance plans, and implementing the District's parent engagement plan. This committee meets quarterly throughout the year and is an opportunity for key stakeholders to have a voice in their District.

School Accountability Committees (SAC)
2024-2025 School Accountability Committee (SAC)
A School Accountability Committee (SAC) is essential to improve the quality of education our students receive. The purpose of the SAC is to inform, encourage, and provide opportunities for parents and community members to be involved in the planning and evaluation of the school's instructional program and quality improvement processes. It is an opportunity for all to participate and have a voice. A SAC that engages parents and community members while working in coordination with principals helps make each of our schools stronger.
