District Advisory Council (DAC)

Members of district advisory committees are appointed by the Board of Education, based on recommendations or elections from a school-level committee or by the school principal. Districts receiving State Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) funds are required to maintain a parent advisory body, maintained through our District Advisory Council (DAC).

This committee should broadly represent parents, teachers, principals, students, and other school personnel. Every school is required to recommend or elect from a school-level committee or be appointed by the principal, one member and one alternate.

Districts receiving LCFF funds that support programs for English learners must also maintain a District English Advisory Committee (DELAC).

DAC responsibilities may include, but are not limited to:

• Reviewing district goals and objectives
• Reviewing the district’s consolidated applications that support school site improvements
• Identifying ways to strengthen parent/guardian involvement
• Analyzing school data to provide recommendations on how to improve student programs
