The District Advisory Council
meets monthly throughout the school year,
providing a critical link between Portage
Schools and the community. DAC members
provide two-way communications by bringing grass-roots input to the Council
and by taking information back to their schools or sharing with community
contacts.
The Council also serves as a focus group or
sounding-board for the District on a variety of topics impacting the
District and its relationship with parents and the community.
Kaye Chodl and Mary Lou
Wright serve as co-facilitators. Contact Edna Kent at 323-5148 for
more information.
