School Accountability Committee
The SAC was created by state statute in the 1970s to inform, encourage, and provide opportunities for everyone in the community to be involved in the planning and evaluation of the school's instructional program and quality improvement processes. As part of the improvement process, the SAC may review various components of the school program and advise the principal as to how well these meet the school and community needs, conduct surveys/ assessments for the formulation of school improvement goals, develop areas of study based upon school baseline data and school profile information, and make recommendations and/or give advice to the principal.
Each SAC is comprised of at least 7 voting members:
-3 parents
-1 representative from a parent/teacher organization
-1 teacher representative
-1 school administrator
-1 community member
