What is PAC?
Parent Advisory Councils (PACs) are forums within each school community to discuss matters affecting your school and the education of your children. Parents’ voices are a tremendous value to their school. PACs strive to represent the diversity within their communities and contribute to the benefit of all students by:
- providing opportunities to educate and inform parents about the school;
- involving parents in volunteer activities; and
- openly discussing parents’ concerns and aspirations for their schools.
Who Can Become a Member of PAC?
According to the School Act (Section 7c), a parent/guardian of a school age student attending a school is entitled to belong to that school's PAC.
How does a PAC Work?
Through their elected executives from parents in the school, PACs communicate with their parent community gathering and discussing issues of importance regarding their school in order to adequately advise those that influence their school. In addition to PAC meetings, communication may also be done through, newsletters, email, and social media so that all parents have the opportunity for input. PACs, with strong participation from parents, have an important influence on life a the school and the feelings the community has toward the school and education.
