Parent Advisory Council Members or as we so fondly call them the “PAC” consist of past and present parents who use the services of the Lebanon Special School District After School Program.
This is a volunteer board who meets on average once every two/three months. The purpose of these meetings are to convey the following:
Budget Information – Tuition & Expenditure Reports
Staff Information – Who is the Site Director in charge at each site?
Location Information – Where are the SACC classrooms located?
Program Events and Activities
These parents are asked to serve because of their clear dedication to their children, the SACC program feels who is better to continue the tradition that the program has in place.
By opening the doors of communication from all involved the opportunity to receive quality child care is available.
