    Consejo Asesor Escolar (SAC)

    El plan de mejora escolar es una prioridad para las escuelas de Broward. Para lograr los objetivos, cada escuela tiene un Consejo Asesor formado por padres, alumnos, maestros, administradores, personal de apoyo, entre otros miembros interesados. El equipo del Consejo estudia y revisa los planes anuales de mejora en educación en áreas vitales como: logro académico de los estudiantes, currículo, seguridad y disciplina. Contacte a la escuela si desea obtener más información o si quiere ser parte de este maravilloso equipo. Los padres tienen la posibilidad de atender las reuniones mensuales del comité SAC en la escuela de su hijo-hija.

    ¿Por qué es importante que los padres sean participantes activos?

      • El comité SAC proporciona un lugar donde los padres pueden expresar sus opiniones y sugerencias. Tienen un papel activo en la toma de las decisiones que servirán para mejorar la educación dada a los estudiantes.
      • SAC también les da la oportunidad a los padres de participar activamente en establecer metas y hacer planes para lograr esas metas académicas.
      • SAC permite que los padres identifiquen los problemas que deben abordarse en relación con el ambiente escolar.
