PAC Meetings Home

LMS invites all parents and families to attend our Fall and Spring Parent Advisory Council to discuss, review, and revise policies, budget, family compacts, and the school-wide plan for the upcoming school year.

Every Parent is welcome to attend and be a member of the Parent Advisory Council.

What is the Parent Advisory Council (PAC)?

In order to ensure effective involvement of parents and to support a partnership between the school, parents, and the community to improve student academic achievement, Title I schools are asked to establish a Parent Advisory Council (PAC). The PAC provides advice on all matters related to parental involvement programs and has final approval of the school's Parent & Family Engagement Policy. Participating in the Parent Advisory Council meetings provides families another opportunity to be involved in their child's education by giving them a voice in the decision-making related to Title I policies and programs at our school. PAC meetings are held twice a year, in the fall and spring, in order to give parents an opportunity to provide their input on Title I policy, programs, compacts, budget, school improvement plan, and building teacher capacity. 

What are the objectives of the Parent Advisory Council?

• Strengthen the relationship between home, school, and the community
• Foster parents and teachers working together to support the education of our students
• Provide input for training opportunities that help parents assist with learning at home
• Provide ideas for regular, two-way communication to keep parents informed and working as full partners in their child's learning
• Gather input from a parent's perspective on schoolwide Title I programs and policies
• Approve Family-School Compacts (Fall) and Parent & Family Engagement Policy (Spring)
