Who We Are
The District Accountability Committee is comprised of an Executive DAC Committee of elected officers and full DAC Committee membership of building representatives.  Members are interested community citizens, parents of School District Eleven students, and staff members.

What We Do
The purpose of DAC is to aid in the achievement of students of School District Eleven. This is accomplished by having representative members on DAC subcommittees such as District Accreditation and Achievement, and District Administrative groups such as Instructional Management System, Policy, and Title I.  

When and Where We Meet
Executive DAC meets on the first Thursday of every month in the Main Administration Building, Cavern Conference Room. Full DAC meets on the third Thursday of every month at Tesla.

How We Affect Student Achievement
DAC is the essential volunteer community member group "in the middle" that effectively communicates with School District 11 school buildings and the administration.

How to Get Involved in DAC - There are three DAC subcommittees and various ad hoc committees that meet separately from the Executive DAC and Full DAC committees including the following: 

Accreditation Committee - Makes DAC approved recommendations to the BOE relative to the accreditation of District 11 and the development of the District Improvement Plan.  Meets throughout the year.
 

Budget Subcommittee - Makes DAC approved recommendations to the Board of Education relative to cost containment and prioritization of expenditures of District 11 funds as it relates to student achievement and safety. The subcommittee may perform other non-administrative functions as directed by the Board of Education and sanctioned by DAC, as the subcommittee meets throughout the year. 

Nominating Committee - Meets only during March, April and May to form a ballot of nominees for Executive DAC offices for the coming school year. It presents the ballot of nominees at the May full DAC committee meeting for election of Executive DAC officers.

Ad Hoc Committees - These committees are formed to study issues that may arise during the school year or as directed by the BOE. Meetings are limited to the study of issues and any recommendations are made to the full DAC committee for discussion and approval.

DAC Bylaws
School district advisory committees are a requirement in Colorado School Law. The Board of Education has adopted DAC bylaws in its policy to address accountability committees at the district and at the school level.
