Board Committees

Community involvement in a foundational value of Elizabeth School District, from booster clubs to PTCOs to the Board of Education. One crucial aspect, both from a legal aspect and with regard to community participation, accountability and engagement, is the board’s organization of advisory committees and councils.

Here is the current list:

District Advisory Committee

State and federal education legislation emphasizes the inclusion of families in the educational accountability process. The District Advisory Committee (DAC) is a legally-constituted accountability and advisory committee of parent representatives and teachers from every school in the district.

Colorado State Statute 22-11-302 requires DAC members to act in an advisory capacity to the Board of Education on a variety of topics including:

  • The district budget;
  • Unified improvement plans;
  • Family engagement; and
  • Other projects as determined by the BOE (parent surveys, MLO oversight, etc.)

The DAC meets three to four times throughout the school year, and members have an opportunity to hear district updates and provide input on a variety of topics. DAC members are responsible for ongoing communication with their School Accountability Committee (SAC).
