What is DPAC?
We are the official parent voice for School District 73.
DPAC stands for District Parent Advisory Council. Each PAC is encouraged to elect 2 DPAC reps to attend our monthly meetings. We elect an executive to conduct business between meetings, but our direction is determined by our members, just like at PACs.
- We advise the Board of Education on any matter relating to education in the district.
- We facilitate communication, sending information to PACs on upcoming events and programs.
- We provide training, host speakers, and run workshops and networking events for parents.
- We function as a resource for individual parents and for PACs doing work at the school level.
