Vision: Assist the District with decisions aimed at providing the best overall education for our children.
Mission: DAC will formulate and provide timely recommendations to the Board of Education on District spending priorities, policies related to student assessment and achievement, charter school applications and the overall effectiveness of district programs. To this end, DAC will make it a priority to support and solicit input for School Accountability Committees (SACs)
