Parental (including guardians and other members of the student’s family involved in the student’s education) involvement in the education of students contributes greatly to achievement, and to the positive school environment and experience.

SAC responsibilities include, but are not limited to:
-
Advising the principal concerning the preparation of the school's Unified Improvement Plan (UIP).
-
Making recommendations to the principal concerning priorities for spending school funds.
-
Helping school staff increase parent partnerships with teachers, fostering the parents' role in creating student academic experience.
