Instructional Leaders

They provide expertise and experience in education. They are fully versed in the school’s mission, board goals, curricula, and best practices developed and endorsed by the school.

Parents

Provide critical insights into how their children experience curricula, practices, and procedures at school. The hopes and aspirations they hold for their children are critically important as they define their strategies to achieve their goals.

How will the PAC members represent the parents’ and teachers’ opinions, so how will they communicate with them?

Eiusmod tempor incididunt ipsum labore dolore magna aliquas. Ut enim dui veniam ipsum quis.

  • Communication should be done confidentially, so parents and teachers can share concerns and suggested agendas via the PAC members’ official e-mails.
  • Surveys can be sent to take the parents’ and teachers’ opinions, so a decision based on the majority’s opinion will be taken.
  • Social media is not preferred to be used for communication because it sometimes creates more problems.
  • PAC is to discuss school-wide concerns. Personal issues and individual complaints are to be handled departmentally according to school policies concerning the school hierarchy.
