Parent participation has been a major priority of the Board of Education.  All Single School Plans contain specific parent participation components and activities.  Parent participation is encouraged through many formal and informal organizations and activities.  The major structures to support parent participation are described below.

School Site Council (SSC):  Every elementary, middle, high, and adult school has a School Site Council.  SSCs are comprised of parents, teachers, principals, and others.  Parents comprise 50% of every elementary SSC, and 25% of every secondary SSC.  The SSC measures the effectiveness of current improvement strategies at their school and evaluates the school's effectiveness in meeting the needs of students.  Visit your school office for further information.

District Advisory Council (DAC):  DAC advises the Board of Education on matters related to educational programs, policies, and procedures, and considers action as requested.  Each School Site Council selects a representative to serve on DAC.  Visit the DAC webpage for additional information.
