Parental and community input is essential to shaping the educational experience of our students. Parent Advisory Committees (PACs) are essential channels for parents and community members to influence decisions about school funding, programs, and accountability. Understanding the role and importance of these committees can empower families and communities to make a difference.
Our new PAC Guide breaks down the key roles and requirements of these committees, offering clear explanations of how each group functions and the specific input they provide. Whether you’re a parent of a student with special needs, an advocate for English Learners, or part of a broader community group, this guide outlines the structures that empower families to voice their concerns and shape school decisions.
As the second installment in our resource series, this guide complements our Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) explainer by focusing on the committees that provide direct feedback on the Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) and other school priorities. Explore the PAC Guide today and discover how you can participate in making meaningful changes in your school and district!
