Overview

The District Parent Advisory Committee (DPAC) is a district-level advisory group comprised of parents, site staff, and community leaders who advise on the needs of those students who are part of one of the following subgroups: Low Income (LI), Foster, Homeless, or Academically Struggling. Parents must also be a part of the annual review of the Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) as well as review the district parent involvement policy.  Magnolia School District combines these tasks into the responsibilities of the DPAC.

The DPAC consults with the district and facilitates coordination and cooperation of parents, staff, and community on matters related to Title I programs.  The DPAC provides a forum for communication, information, and training for the district’s parents through the DPAC representative.  Activities include reviewing the Consolidated Application, providing input on and reviewing the district’s LEA Plan, and reviewing and revising as needed the district Title I Parent Involvement Policy.
