School Accountability Committee

What is a SAC?

In Colorado, School Accountability Committees (SACs) provide the opportunity for families of students to have a voice and to partner with the school administrators, teachers, and community members to continuously improve the educational experience within their local school.  All US states have something similar, but this document is specific to Colorado.  

Why would I want to join?

Do you see a need for change? Are you curious about the school or the education students are receiving? If the school was closed or students started struggling to succeed would you be concerned? These are just some of the reasons you may want to join. Family engagement in education has proven to turn schools around and helps students realize the importance of education for their future. A solid education will increase the earning potential a student will experience when they graduate and set them up for success.  

What does a SAC do?

• Help engage families in their student’s education

• Help families find support when students are struggling

• Help create a plan to continuously review and improve the education system and/or culture

• Monitor the plan to make sure the steps are being followed 

• Verify the plan is improving student outcomes and change the plan as needed

• Recommend budget priorities

• Request help from the school or district when significant issue are identified

• Build a partnership for success within the community
