PACD Launches New Website!
|
|
It has been ten years since the launch of the last PACD website. In order to keep up with current technology, staff worked with a designer to create a new mobile-friendly, modern, and visually appealing website. Check it out today!
If your district is interested in switching over to this new template, please contact PACD Director of Communications and Education Shannon Wehinger at swehinger@pacd.org. If enough districts are interested, we may be able to obtain a discounted 'group' price through the same service, using the same template.
