Overview
[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][vc_column width=”3/4″][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]The Principal Advisory Council (PAC) brings schools and communities together to solve education problems, improve academic achievement, provide support for teachers and administrators, and bring parents into the decision-making process. Councils act as a link between the school and the community, encouraging engagement with stakeholders, increasing transparency, monitoring progress, and participating in the selection of a school’s principal. Each council consists of a minimum of seven members: four parents/guardians, two certified teachers, and the principal. They are elected each fall by parents in an election held by DeKalb County Schools.
More information can be found on the district’s website here.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” content_placement=”top” css=”.vc_custom_1596913986174{background-color: rgba(42,125,225,0.3) !important;*background-color: rgb(42,125,225) !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/4″][vc_column_text el_class=”subhead-fancy-medblue”]
