SCHOOL ACCOUNTABILITY COMMITTEE MEETING
FIRST MEETING: September 14, 2021, ThunderRidge Library.
What is the ThunderRidge High School Accountability Committee?
All public schools in Colorado are required by law to have a School Accountability Committee. School accountability committees are made up of parents, school employees and community members.
The purpose of the SAC is to inform, encourage and provide opportunities for parent and community members to be involved in the planning and evaluation of the school's instructional program and quality improvement processes. By definition, the SAC is an advisory body. Final decision-making authority rests with the principal or other person or group receiving the recommendation from the SAC (e.g., the Superintendent, District Advisory Committee ("DAC") or Board of Education).
See the specific duties of the SAC listed on the Bylaws HERE.

If you paid twice for the Field Day t-shirt, you will be refunded the $15 to the form of payment used. It may take 5-7 days to show in your account. If you paid through ACH it will take about 10-14 days to reflect in your account. The different refund times are due to the billing platform and banking requirements.
