Consider Joining the Parent Advisory Committee
Each school site is required to have a representative on the Parent Advisory Committee (PAC.). This advisory group meets with the Superintendent monthly and provides feedback to the District on how we can better support students and families. Representatives can be members from our School Site Council (SSC), ELAC, PTA, PFC or any other site advisory group. The first meeting is Tuesday, September 13th at 5:30pm at the Willow Creek Center.

Our first DELAC meeting ( District English Language Advisory Committee) is
scheduled for September 15th, 2022. Each school with 21 or more EL students
needs to have an ELAC committee ( English Learner Advisory Committee) and
