School Advisory Council (SAC) 2022-23
The SAC is a means for community/parent involvement in and support of the schools. It is composed fo the principal, teachers, educational support employees, parents, business and community partners, and students. It is representative of the ethnic and economic makeup of the community it serves, and it participates in identifying school needs and developing plans for meeting those needs. Additionally, the SAC assists in the evaluation of the school's Success Plan.
The SAC typically meets once per month starting in August, where it then provides recommendations on the goals of the school and proposes strategies to accomplish them. It also prepares and distributes school information to the greater community. A large part of the SAC's responsibility involves voting on how to spend allocated funding to accomplish various student-centered goals and projects. This is why attendance for SAC members is so crucial to its success.
If you are interested in joining SAC for the 2022-23 school year, please fill out the brief form at https://forms.office.com/r/26ZNr0gX85.
