We have 2 Parent Advisory Committee (PAC) positions opening up for the 2021-2022 school year. PAC participates with the administration in developing the Annual School Plan, in deciding how the Land Trust monies will be spent, and other matters important to our students at American Preparatory Academy. Parents who are employed 6 or more hours per week at the school are disqualified from participating as an elected parent.

The PAC generally meets 3-4 times per year. Members of the PAC will be expected to participate in all meetings so that a quorum may be present to conduct business.  There are no term limits; so long as an elected parent has students enrolled in the school, is actively participating, and wishes to continue to serve on the board, he/she may do so. If you are interested, please contact Rebecca Dailey, landtrust@apamail.org no later than Wednesday, May 12, 2021 at 4pm.  

Please include:

• • Your name

• The campus you are running for

• Your students name and grade
• Your phone number and email address 
• A short (70 words or less) paragraph on why you are interested in being on the committee.  

We are holding elections at more than one campus, so it will be very important that you note in your email which campus’ PAC you are running.  The ballot link will go home as the last page of the May 14 newsletter. Each family may vote for 2 candidates, as we have 2 openings.  Ballots must be submitted online before 4:00 pm on May 19th. The candidates who receive the most votes will be posted in the May 21st newsletter.
