Summary
The District Advisory Committee (DAC) presented its annual report summarizing outreach to school advisory councils, SAC training efforts, site-based budgeting work and recommendations to include charter schools more closely in DAC activities and district improvement planning.
The District Advisory Committee (DAC) and its subcommittees reported to the board on June 11, summarizing a year of outreach, SAC training and advisory work.
Highlights - DAC members visited more than 30 school advisory councils (SACs) to build connections and gather feedback. - SAC training sessions covered topics including ICAP, unified improvement planning (UIP) and site-based budgeting; the committee asked to expand SAC training into charter schools. - The budget subcommittee supported site-based budgeting implementation and requested continued involvement in site-based budget task forces. - The accreditation subcommittee said its input helped streamline the district UIP rollout; DAC asked for greater SAC input into school improvement plans moving forward.
Requests and next steps DAC leaders requested the board’s guidance on how the committee can better support district-authorized charter schools and offered to support bond outreach and community engagement if requested. Committee leaders said they will continue to publicize openings for volunteers and to recruit SAC members and subcommittee participants for the coming year.
Ending: Board members thanked DAC volunteers for the year’s work and asked staff and DAC leadership to coordinate on open-seat recruitment and fall training schedules.
