• School Advisory Council - SAC

    What is SAC?

    SAC is the School Advisory Council. This is a team of people representing various segments of the community-parents, teachers, students, administrators, support staff, business/industry as well as other interested community members.

    Each Florida school is required by law to have a SAC. Each of the above-mentioned individuals is known as a stakeholder. These stakeholders are individuals representative of the ethnic, racial, and economic makeup of the school's community. Each SAC is responsible for strategic planning for their school's improvement.
