2023-2024 PAC

The President’s Advisory Council (PAC) is a group of employees who work as a “sounding board” and meet with the Superintendent/President directly to have candid discourse about climate, culture, and morale throughout the academic year. Please feel free to connect with one of the members of the Council to share your thoughts, ideas, suggestions, etc.
