District Advisory Council

District Advisory Council

The purpose of the District Advisory Council is to provide an open forum for parents, school staff and district administrators, to discuss issues affecting our students and classrooms.  In order to get the most out of these discussions and to make meaningful recommendations to the Board, it is necessary for our DAC members to be educated about school district procedures, departments, initiatives, etc., and to have the opportunity to ask questions and discuss issues.
