School Advisory Forum (SAF)

A group of four adults discussing committee information
  • The School Board policy requires that each school has a School Advisory Forum (SAF) composed of parents, high school students, teachers, community members, school administrators, non-instructional support staff, and community partners. The SAF provides an opportunity for stakeholders to discuss and recommend actions on a variety of school issues.

    The Advisory Forum aims to improve the education experience through communication, advocacy, and partnerships between Parents, Schools, and the Broward Country School District.

    • Mandated by School Board Policy
    • Main purpose is communication between stakeholders, the school, and the Area Advisory Council
    • Chair must be a parent

    SAF meets about 4 times a year and also visits the district Area Advisory Council. Among the topics discussed are: school safety, student's well-being, calendar start and end of the school year, and traffic issues.
