District Committees Representatives

A key role for North Van PAC is to represent parents within a number of school district committees. These committees involve teachers and administration and discuss many of the issues and help to inform the different policies and activities within the District as they take shape.

North Van PAC is currently seeking volunteers to represent North Vancouver parents on several of these committees, especially those with vacancies and would welcome parents interested in any of the committees with representation to make themselves available as alternates in the case our regular representatives cannot attend.

North Van PAC attends both public committee and representative committee meetings within the District

Any member of the public can attend the public committees and these are listed on the District's calendar. I highly recommend the Education and Programs committee to any parent wishing to understand more about how children are taught within the district while Finance and Facilities tends to discuss expense items and Toward the Future of schools discusses different current and potential programs within the district.

Representative committees involve invited representatives of different groups within the school district relevant to the issues at hand including parents, teachers, district administrators, district staff and school administrators. Our role is to represent all parents across the district within the committee.
