The application process is open for anyone to apply for the District Curriculum Advisory Committee. This committee allows up to 25 members and will meet once monthly during the school year. Membership is one year, but could possibly be longer if desired and space allows. District meetings are “closed” meetings, meaning that the general public is not allowed to attend.
From the district website:
The general purposes of the District Curriculum Advisory Committee (DCAC) are:
- to serve as an advisory committee that ensures active participation in all phases in planning and improving instruction and curriculum, especially aspects affecting graduation standards;
- to advise the school board on implementation of the state and local graduation requirements including K-12 curriculum, assessment, student learning opportunities and other related issues; and
- to make recommendations to the School Board and the Superintendent of Independent School District on district-wide standards assessments and program evaluation. (https://www.isd761.org/district-services/teaching-learning/dcac)
