Committee Leads:
What is the Parent Advisory Council (PAC)?
The primary role of the PAC is to “advise the Board, Principal and staff of the school respecting any matter relating to the school”. The PAC consists of all parents and guardians, who wish to attend monthly meetings and volunteer to help with planning, coordinating and fundraising for various school events and activities throughout the school year.
When and where are PAC meetings held?
PAC meetings are generally held monthly.
Who can attend PAC meetings?
Meetings are open to all David Livingstone parents, guardians, staff and invited guest speakers.
What happens at PAC meetings?
Meetings are held to discuss school issues, provide advice on policy and procedures, support school programs, and plan special events for students and families. Each meeting includes reports from the Chairperson, Treasurer, Committees and Principal. In addition teachers and guest speakers may present information on a variety of topics.
What elected positions are there on Council?
Elected positions include Chair, Vice or Co Chair(s), Secretary(s), Treasurer and Members at Large. Elections for positions are held in May and any parent or guardian may run for a position or cast a vote.
Are there any other opportunities for parents to volunteer?
In addition to the elected PAC positions, there are many other opportunities for parents to volunteer to help plan, organize, fundraise and assist with the many events and activities that happen throughout the school year. Information about the various PAC committees, activities, events and volunteer opportunities can be found on the PAC website.
What does fundraising involve and why is it needed?
Many fundraising events are supported through the volunteer efforts of the PAC. Profits from these events are all used to fund items not covered by government funding sources. The items typically include technology equipment software, library books, gym equipment, audio-visual supplies, field trips, and additional “special event” funding.
Where can I find more information?
PAC information is posted on the PAC bulletin board in the main hall next to the office and on the PAC website at www.livingstonepac.org.
