What is DPAC?
DPACs are the legislated parent/guardian voice at the school district level, representing the collective views of the Parent Advisory Councils (PACs) in a school district.

What do DPACs do?
DPACs:
– advise the board of education on any matter relating to education in their school district
– advocate for parental/guardian involvement in the education system
– give input into the development of education policy.
– bring a parent/guardian voice to various district committees (policy, finance, budget, etc.)
– support and encourage PACs and parents/guardians in accessing the school system at all levels by providing regular forums for the exchange of ideas and information
– advocate on behalf of families

Who can become a member of DPAC?
DPACs are comprised of elected parent representatives from PACs around the district. All parents/guardians of School District No. 22 students are welcome to attend monthly meetings.

Most importantly…
The business of the DPAC shall be unbiased in respect of race, colour, religion, politics, family status, gender, sexual orientation, or physical or mental ability. The DPAC is not a forum for the discussion of individual school personnel, parents, or other individual members of the school community.
