DAC Chair Update & News



Message from Wanda

Welcome back to the new school year. The District Advisory Committee (DAC) Board has been busy this summer planning for the school year.


DAC First Meeting: Tuesday, October 20th meeting I recommend all DAC members attend this meeting. We got a fantastic speaker. You will also receive a special packet that incorporates all the handouts with information that you'll need to learn or know. We do not have enough time during the meeting to discuss. At this meeting we have the following:* Our new district superintendent, Mr. Jonathan Raymond will be there to greet you and introduce himself and his vision for the district.



"Guest Speaker Dr. Geni Boyer, the Director of Cambridge Academies/California Parent Information Resource Center (PIRC) 2. She will be speaking about parental engagement, school policies, Section 1118, school compacts, accountability and how school site councils can lead improvement at school sites. She is dedicated to promoting, supporting and sustaining educational opportunities for disadvantaged and at-risk students. Check out PIRC 2 website for helpful information: http://www.calpirc.org/. Dr. Boyer is very knowledgeable. Ask your questions."
