Involve me and I learn." ~~ Benjamin Franklin School districts and teachers should welcome greater parental activism. These moms and dads can be the best allies - they want more funding for schools and they want to keep good teachers in the classroom, and they're willing to march on Sacramento to make it happen.

We welcome Koua Franz to the position of Chief Family and Community Engagment Officer. We look forward to partnering together to offer opportunities to DAC members on parent engagement training. Tuesday's agenda is dedicated to providing DAC membership with information concerning the Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA) and the SCUSD's School Development Improvement Plan (SDIP). As you may be aware, your school leaders have been in the process of identifying areas of improvement and will soon be presenting the SDIP to your School Site Council (SSC). Come to the DAC General meeting to learn how the SPSA and SDIP work together, responsibilities of SSC members in development of the SDIP, and bring any questions you may have for our guest speakers. Speaking on the SPSA will be Kathleeen Pettibone, Education Programs Consultant, California Department of Education. Speaking on the SDIP will either be Mary Shelton, SCUSD Chief Accountability Officer and/or Dr. Olivine Roberts, Chief Academic Officer. See you there!

Members from other school districts are welcomed. Revised Bylaws The bylaw convention was a success. They completed the revisions of the bylaws. They are attached for your review. We are very limited in time in this month’s meeting due to our guest speaker. DAC Election As DAC chair, I have been announcing for the last 3 months that the current DAC board officers will not be running for election next year. We have been actively recruiting DAC membership to consider being candidates. The current board would like to have the election in June 2010 to allow the new board to organize during the summer months. They will have the opportunity to develop their goals and timeline, instead of inheriting the old board’s agenda. We are asking the DAC membership to vote for a June election instead of a November election. Current DAC officers will complete their term by June 30, 2010; therefore there is a need to have elections. Attached is the Bylaw Committee Election process. Is there anyone else interested in running, please let me know. Announced Candidates so far are: For DAC Chair: Toni Colley-Perry, Success Academy Maria Lourdes Jimenez-Price, Phoebe Hearst For DAC Vice Chair: · Shane Sawyer, Hubert Bancroft · Jennifer Garcia, Tahoe · Nancy Garcia, Sam Brannan Middle Unsure which office: LaTisha Lawson, Hiram Johnson High/OW Erlewine Announcements: DAC June Speaker: Superintendent Raymond, Meet the DAC Officer Candidates, and Bylaw Revision vote, and DAC Election vote.
